You will taxi forever on takeoff. The FBO seems to never be near the
active runway, and the last time I was there they changed the active so
I had to taxi to the other end weaving between big iron. It helps to
know the key named taxi reporting points beforehand (though they are
fairly evident as you get to them)

The key to takeoff is frequently to ask for an intersection. Can't
tell you number of 1L at Y3 departures I've made. Of course, if
they're bent on sending you to 30, you're out of luck.


Last time I was there, there wasn't any public transportation to speak
of. There is talk of running the Metro there, but I don't think it's
happened yet.

Still decades away. You can catch a motor coach down to the nearest
metro, runs about $8 I think.
