In 2023, I visited more Metro stations than ever before. My tally of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority rail stations entered, exited or transferred is 42<\/strong>! That is easily the most I have ever recorded in a single year. Most of them I had visited by the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of my last 2023 Metro commute, I saw car 2023 pulling out of Eastern Market. Had I been 30 seconds earlier, I would have had time to take the perfect hero photo for this post. Alas…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
