I've got to agree with Doug on this.
You can't take a Moped onto the Metro/Subway, but I bet that you probably
could take the Segway on the Metro/Subway. That would be a huge
advantage in my book, given the vast amoutns of walking required to see the
sights in downtown DC, as well as eliminating the 10-30 min wait I have for
the bus to take me the last 1.5 miles to my home on my daily commute.
And, I make enough money to afford one - if I wanted to.
