Unfortunately Atlanta has no public transportation. I've lived here my entire life and never met a professional who takes MARTA to anywhere but major sporting events.

The DC Metro is very good if you can use it. My D took Metro trains as a high schooler and I never worried about her using it during commuter hours. GEN Alum also took the Metro as do many Pentagon employees. Of course, not all jobs are Metro-accessible. Even worse, Dulles Airport does not have direct public transportation (although the powers-that-be are working on that).
I have to drive to various points of DC/Northern VA and plan my travel around the HOV times. Luckily I have the flexibility in my schedule.
