Metrorail increasingly unreliable, how many less trips per week for you on it?

As Metrorail grows increasingly unreliable and less frequent service including during rush hour, compared with three months ago (early/mid July), how many less trips per week are you using Metro? Count a morning AND a afternoon commute trip as two trips. Personally, five less trips per week on the Metro trains.

If using Metrorail less or no longer at all, how are you getting to and from work or your destination(s) now? Driving solo, carpooling, slugging, or ride from others, vanpooling, cycling, walking, bus, other train, telework, Uber/Lyft, taxi, other creative way, and for what distance if wish to share using other travel means. For self, UberX five miles to park and ride lot, two limited/no stop shuttle/express buses rest of way to work.

Just curious as many of us may be, given the recent not so good news coverage of Metrorail's issues, not any professional polling here.

4 less here, mainly due to increased teleworking and car pooling.

However, I find myself walking from NoMa to Gallery Place to avoid taking the Red Line. I hate the Red Line.

+1

If grammar lessons will make the knuckle-draggers go away, I am in favor.
