I'm in a county right outside of DC, and use public transportation a couple of times a month - whenever I have meetings or conferences in DC. My apartment complex teamed up with a few others, and does a free shuttle to the metro in the mornings, and then I can take the metro into the city...I love being able to relax and read the paper.
But for the rest of the time, I drive. There isn't a metro within a few miles of my office, and my commute time would double. As for riding with a friend, I can work five hours one day and twelve the next...I just can't plan ahead for my workload, so it wouldn't be fair to someone else.
