    One of my favorite Red line station in the DC area. It is very deep underground. Nice wide platforms. Love it!

    The management and staff are very friendly and helpful as well as very informative as well

    A certain dumbass got himself turned around and accidentally jumped on an outbound train instead of the inbound train from Silver Spring. This was the first stop to get off and catch the next train. A simple enough station with two separate platforms and an elevator bank in between. And you do need that elevator as the station is nearly 200 feet below ground. Forest Glen is the only station in the Washington Metro system without an escalator! Surprisingly, cell phones worked well as they have a repeater antenna mounted somewhere. Helpful! The station is on the Red Line between Silver Spring (duh) and Wheaton Stations.

    I have found myself metroing to Silver Spring more and more versus driving nowadays... it's about a…read more20 min ride and on top of that I can avoid dealing with parking. There's quite a bit of construction going on in the area, which isn't surprising, though it can make navigation a bit confusing from the outside. A lot of elements of this metro seem upgraded compared to others, and it's definitely way larger than it was back in the day. There's a huge bus area, and you can even catch the MARC. The escalators, core of the station itself, and platform are pretty straightforward. I haven't been in the metro during the peak of rush hour, so I can't speak on what that experience is like. But I imagine it's no different than everywhere else. You can only catch the Red line here, so read the maps so you know where to catch the other lines if necessary.

    This station is a bit of a mess currently. They are doing some kind of update to the station which…read morelimits the platform situation. This can be considered a benefit or a deterrent on how you look at it. If you are exiting a train, it's easy flow to the exit. If you are entering a train, you can only go so far down the platform safely before being in someone else's way. The escalator situation here confuses me. It seems like they were meant to be helpful in the platform situation but I always end up being in the opposite direction from where I need to be. Exiting out onto the street was a bit of a mess as well. Everyone seems to filter to the one side that takes you into the downtown area. Everyone seems to have the same thought here, I'm entitled to the nearest gate even though I see you clearly standing there about to use it. It is a very well used station and I can see why with the connection to the bus bays. But until they are done doing whatever update there is, it's just not the best right now.

From there, you are located near the National Mall, Smithsonian Museums, White House, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln monuments. Also, near the WW II and the Vietnam Wall memorials. The station is equipped for ADA via elevator near the main entrance and has ramps to the platforms. The elevator may have enough room for 4-5 people or 1 ADA Wheel or electric chair and two others. The trains are nice and clean. Not like other stations in other cities. Price is comparable to other cities dreaming from $2.50 -$6.75 depending the time and stop you are heading too. Use your phone, CC, or Smartcard you can purchase from the Metro. Also, you can plan your trip, purchase and schedules from their website @ https://wmata.com I highly recommend to use the site. Epic escalators! They are about 100' -150' deep before you get to the kiosk stations. Have a fun trip!

    Ok, I'm finally getting around to reviewing Metro stations. This is a deep station like many on…read morethis end of the Red Line. The platforms are pretty run of the mill Metro platforms. Normally it's pretty clean. Once you take the long-ish escalator ride up away from the tracks, you end up in a covered area where the buses are. This area has a tiny Dunkin Donuts if you need a snack or coffee. As you head to the next set of escalators, there is a water feature (not quite a waterfall) that comes down into the station area from the surface. Nice to have a natural sounds in a very urban area. Once you get up onto the surface, you're at the corner of Old Georgetown Rd and Wisconsin Ave near several hotels and a Starbucks (in case Dunks wasn't your cup of tea). Pretty central to a of businesses and restaurants. All in all, this station is convenient and central to downtown Bethesda.

Its a very touristy area this is Glenmont Metro Station . This olace has bus stops for all different busses to take peope to different areas of Maryland. They have a downstairs escalators to the Metro Teains that go from this place to WASHINGTON DC, as far as shady Groce station and more . Te improvements by putting up digital schedules . Now they are putting up surveillance systems aganst Teenage Take overs where they are in a rampage not bejbg in Schol at and hanging where kids are jit allowed at . Its ruining the reputation od good customers there . But im glad improvements are being made . This place has now two parking structures one at the station and ine across the street . It includes elevators to take uou into the metro train areas . They even have apps such as Metro bus or ride on bus app or ateansit app to know schedules to buses or trains there . You can use their QR CODES on theie ads to do them . They eben allow people like Jehovahs witnesses to solicit their materials there to know communities there . But now the bus stops have all new buses and schedules then the old ways anymore . But im getting used to them with time . But my explorations aboard metro buses and ride ons are far ftom over . Even been there at the Glenmont Metro Station countless times . Im continuing my adventures aboard them . But when people go there its for the right reasons too . Inside the Metro areas down below they have machines to reload your Metro cards to add on the machine too to go where you want with the schedules they show on it . This place is always enjoyable except fir the Teenage Take overs there when kids belng in school . I love coming to Glenmont Metro Station and hooe to continue to do so . My voyages and explorations are far from over . This is a nice place yi ge st fir thevright customers and communities that comebthrre . What happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful, Inexcusable, Unjustifiable, Reprehensible, Irresponsible, Wreckless, And Down Right Wrong. It should have never been tolerated. On nuses and the metro Trains they should add wifi plugs to charge our cell phones when riding. Let's make Glenmont Metro Station respectable and touristy again as it should and must be again . I hope we all enjoy going there . If you love this place as I do , This place is for you.

    A little trivia: Wheaton Metro Station has the longest subway escalator in the Western Hemisphere…read more(and in the US). The escalator is 230 feet long, with a vertical rise of 115 feet. For the most part, Wheaton's Metro Station is pretty decent (relative to living in NYC for a couple of decades). With access to the red line (obviously) and a large number of DC Metro and Montgomery County bus lines, I guess this could be considered a major transportation hub. This metro station has direct access to various shops (e.g, Westfield Mall), restaurants, and bars. I will recommend being careful because Georgia Avenue can be a bit of a mess for pedestrians. Compared to other metro stations in the DMV area, I have not noticed a large transient population; however, it can get a little sketchy at night. If you are new to the area, it might be a bit confusing to get the hang of the MANY bus bays, but you will get the hang of it in no time. If you have physical issues with using steep ramps escalators, elevators are located across the street from the main entrance.

    I find this Metro Stop a bit charming. It's most likely a façade. There are few stops that have…read morethis split level thing going on. It feels more intimate than most stations. But once that charm wears off, you see this place for what it is. Wheaton is unique in terms that this place connects to the mall, but only after you have to go on a scavenger hunt...through a parking garage. Is it sketchy? Yes. Is it worth not having to sit through traffic, find a parking spot and do that in reverse? Also yes. The usefulness of this station is apparent. However, I feel like it is underutilized. Especially with the mall dwindling, which is a surprise I think. Anyway, point being, it's convenient, connected, and serves its purpose.
