    This is a nice and clean station. The metro station is a block away and it connects to the mall.

    I could walk faster than VRE. Literally late/delayed everyday and they do nothing to make it better. Enough said.

    very happy with their service…read more I had a trip and I need it for a family emergency to return earlier I was helping in New York today, April 15 by Sandy and the rest of the friendly crew and for a small free day rerouted my ticket since another passenger didn't show up I could take a seat on an earlier bus The bus is spacious has tables that fall down and I can highly recommend this company

    Horrible experience. Traveling to NYC from VA and the bus broke down in the middle lane of I95. The…read morebus driver who spoke very poor English did not let us know what was going on and we sat for about 20 mins until she figured out how to get the bus moving off to the shoulder. A second bus arrived and that driver was not helpful with transferring our luggage to his bus, seeing that I had a boot on my broken ankle. Rude! Once we got to the second bus, the clients on the other bus complained that we were getting on. Our bus had a quiet aura that we adhered to the request. This bus was loud, with everyone speaking to one another, on their phones, etc. we paid for the gold bus experience and got a rotten metal experience. Coming home was better, as our driver kept us informed but the bathroom was disgusting with urine on the floor! Never will I ever travel with them in life! When I sent an email, the manager just responded with "issue do sometime happen". Poor grammar and poor service. I also reported them to BBB.

    I like riding the metro. As someone who grew up near DC and moved to NoVA the Metro has been a…read moreconvenience for me in terms of getting around DC so I don't have to deal with hectic drivers or traffic. I've been riding this public transit nt entire life. However the last five weeks have been such a headache from WMATA's customer service that it's really made me consider if I need to just suck it up and drive into DC or take the bus. I used the SmartTrip app to reload my MetroCard and for over a MONTH the funds have been "pending". I called WMATA customer service, I emailed them multiple times, and even reached out to their official Reddit account. And I've been ignored, invalidated, gaslit a couple times, and some instances I've been disrespected by staff that clearly didn't want to be at work. I've always come with a level head but firm tone given how many times I've contacted WMATA and they have not resolved my issue. I'm irate and feel very disrespected and expected more from WMATA. As of 04/17 this issue still hasn't been resolved.

    It's free. It may not be quick all the time due to traffic…read morein the area, but it will get you where you need to go and back. The only stops it makes are Kennedy Center and Foggy Bottom Metro. Location (Foggy Bottom Metro): There is a "Kennedy Center Shuttle" sign located on 23rd Street NW, DC. It is located near the exits for Foggy Bottom Metro and George Washington University Hospital. Once you see the shuttle sign, just wait there until the next shuttle arrives. The area in front of the shuttle sign can get a bit congested at times with other vehicles. Not to worry. If there are other vehicles stopped in that area, the shuttle will move a little closer to the traffic light that is near there, and pick/drop people off from that spot. It's all about safety. Location (Kennedy Center): They have a sign on the curb outside the Kennedy Center for the shuttle. If you are facing the building, look to your left. It will be by the entrance to the Hall of Nations. Once you get in the shuttle, grab a seat. Once all seats are taken, you can stand in the aisle and grab one of the handles hanging from the bars above. They are not very comfortable as the drive is not a straight one all the way. If you don't want to stand, you can always wait for the next shuttle (they run approximately every 15 minutes). Schedule for the Shuttle per Kennedy Center's website * Mondays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Tuesdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Wednesdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Thursdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Fridays = 9:45am to 12am (midnight). * Saturdays = 9:45am to 12am (midnight). * Sundays = 11:45am to 11pm. Federal Holidays = 4pm to 11pm. Don't forget to thank the driver. Visited (Rode) August 2024

    I've always found this station easy to navigate. It is super close, walking distance to the Metro…read morestation as well. There is a few hotels within walking distance and many stores and eateries. You can totally make Alexandria your main hub to get in and out of DC. The area is quiet and peaceful at times. The station has vending machines, pew seating, bench seating, a covered area while you wait for the train. When you get off there is two ways to get to the other side of the track. One is walking across the tracks... safely. The other is the underground tunnel and stairs. There is also restrooms, and a few parking spots. I've never had any issues with staff. They run a tight ship and get travelers in and out and where they need to be. Educate yourself the best you can with process and it will help. Asking questions also helps. HOT TIP: If you're not in a rush, have someone pick you up 15-20 min after your your train arrives. Less hassle with other cars around. I just sit and watch the trains come and go while I wait. People watch too.

Did want to note that Track 3 is the track right outside the station waiting area. My first time leaving from this location and had to ask. ‍
