Yeah, it's sad but Marta seems too erratic to depend on. If you are close enough in that you can go directly to the rail line, maybe. But if you're talking catching a bus to the rail, forget it. You might be able to walk the distance and get there faster for most routes, not that I have much experience. (and there's a perception that it's dangerous, but I don't know if that's grounded in reality or not.)
On the other hand, when my family lived outside of DC when I was kid, my dad could actually catch a Metro bus, take it to the rail line and get off literally at his workplace, and it was a reasonable method of commuting. It's really weird to think that my parents only had one car then.
