Metro vs. Driving
I think they subsidized both because not everyone has a metro option. I used to live in Old Town. To take the metro I had to walk to a bus stop, take a bus across town, then get on the metro, etc. That works fine for gov't folks, but it didn't work well for BigLaw attorneys who were working until midnight every night (this was 1999-2000).
My second thought is that driving isn't so easy either. For one thing, I66 is HOV only on all lanes, which means that people in Tysons are screwed and have to get to the Vienna lot before it fills up, or take chain bridge road to GW Parkway, etc.
The real solution is to take jobs out of DC. That is exactly what they are tying to do with the Dept. of Homeland Security. I hope they put it out near Dulles Airport and then proceed to take as many jobs out of DC as possible.
