A few readers have reported successfully using Capital Bikeshare to traverse downtown during this weekend's Orange and Blue Line trackwork.

I used CaBi to get around the track work and it worked out pretty well. I got from Waterfront to Foggy Bottom in about half an hour. I even passed large groups of people waiting for shuttle buses, which made me think I made the right decision.

Have you needed to take Metro through the affected area? Have you used CaBi, the shuttle buses, or other tools? Have any of you found CaBi stations empty or full, or has Alta been keeping the stations fairly well balanced?
