Traveling the DC metro from baltimore literally cost me like $2 one way. It would otherwise be a 50 mile drive.

So I could either spend roughly $5 on the metro, or $20 in gas (plus a long ass commute and gridlock wait time). For what you get, most metro costs ARE planned to be at a significant advantage to most people.

For all the money they already paid to make that possible, paying an extra $2 to make your trip free would be a very small addition.
The DC metro system does not go to/from Baltimore.
How do you only pay ~$5 for a DC-Baltimore commute?
