It was a challenge back then, I can't imagine trying it now.
Public mental health post-COVID-lockdown and the lack of it being the primary concern...
I could drive, but i don't want to, given that it would involve New York traffic on both ends as well as driving through NJ. I'd rather sit on the train and read.
I've stayed with friends in Silver Spring and done the Metro thing. It wasn't too bad on the metro & all, but i was going into DC, not some chunk of suburban sprawl nestled in the armpit of a freeway cloverleaf.
I ride the subway here in NYC. I can't imagine the DC Metro and/or buses being too much worse in terms of riders. I could imagine the schedules might be less convenient.
