Light rail, light rain.

So, I finally tried out the metro transit system. A combination of driving, riding metrolink and metrobus got me to work and back home. I only drove for ~30 minutes, and made just two transfers (car->train->bus). It was really nice to not deal with the worst of the traffic. To quote a banner I saw on a picture of an early 1900's rail car:

"You're working over-time when you drive."

The trip does add about an hour over my best-case round-trip scenario, so it's not all daisies. When the cross county extension opens up, it'll be a no-brainer - I'll take the 'link without a blink.
