I've started working on site here in Arlington, and my company will reimburse parking. Client site is right across the street from the Viginia Sq metro stop.
I can take the metro (walk to East Falls Church metro, 2 stops to Va Sq). This isnt so bad and total time is about 30 minutes, dont have to drive anywhere, its less than $3/day. The other option is to take the bike and get on 66 (HOV). I was here in under 10 minutes this morning.... and if my employer will pay for parking this seems like a no-brainer. Does anyone know of any pay by the month parking garages near that metro stop? I found one, but they were waffling on whether there really were any spots available or not and I have to fill out an application (w-t-f, over?) for a spot. Ideally I'd like to find something no further than a few blocks away - if I have to walk 10-15 minutes from the garage to the office, it defeats the whole point of taking the bike, I can take metro in the same amount of time.
