If you work for a government agency in Washington D.C., do you get a discount if you take the Metro


If you work for a government agency in Washington D.C., do you get a discount if you take the Metro?
I might be getting a job soon (cross your fingers) in Washington, D.C. working for a government agency. If I decide to take the Metro (the train or bus), will the agency that I would work for offer me a discount for the fees? And how much does it cost per month to ride the metro (train)?

in a way, yes. you can do a pre-tax public transportation payment. cost depends on distance, and time of day, with rush "hour" being higher than mid-day or late nights

it actually depends...some employers give pre tax discounts or some give free metro cards and some give nothing...so it all depends but im sure HR will go over that in the hiring process
