Wow wow wow. In case…read moreyou're curious, those are the bad kind of "wows", not the "Hey I'm impressed that was so damn good" type of wows. This place is so disorganized and it seems that the hours of operation are a joke. BTW, to call this place a bus "station" is a misnomer as it more of a tiny bus stop. It's so small (that's what she said), that you may drive by it as it sits along the entrance of the Franconia-Springfield metro station. So here's the deal. We all stopped by around 6:45am to drop off the mother-in-law. She had bought a bus ticket that departed at 7:30am and decided that we should show up a few minutes before the station opened. The hours of operation for this station stated that this place would open at 7am. We waited...7am came an no one arrived. 7:15am arrived and the bus stop was still closed. 7:25am, a large Greyhound bus arrived and a person jumped out of the bus. We scrambled to get the mother-in-law's ticket and saw a group of already waiting customers fight to enter the small station. Chaos... The bus that arrived was to be my mother-in-law's bus and despite the late arrival of the Greyhound station attendant, it was set to leave at exactly 7:30am. Thankfully she was able to get her ticket, boarded the bus and we all could rest easy knowing she was safe and on the bus. It seems ridiculously inappropriate for the person/company running this station to arrive so late! There were many people waiting outside the station on such a cold morning waiting to get their tickets. Had we not decided to wait with my mother-in-law, she would've fallen victim to the bitter cold morning. That would've been bad news for yours truly. Thankfully we waited and the mother-in-law stayed nice in toasty in the family minivan until the station attendant arrived. I'm such a wonderful son-in-law. :-)

Is your bus 2 hours late? Is the bus station closed? No problem! Just give Greyhound a call, and an…read moreamazing robot with 482319489320483290 options will be prepared to serve you! Did you finally speak to a human over the phone? Great! Prepare to listen to 30+ minutes worth of On-Hold-Music! (And it was only 30 because I finally gave up.) Seriously, this was my worst bus experience ever. There's literally no one there to help you, because the "station" is closed. It's more of a bus stop, really. My bus was 2 hours late, so I called them. I received little to no assistance over the phone, because they could not track their own bus for whatever reason. And if they transfer you, you might as well hang up and save your batteries, because they end up putting you on hold for a very long time. So don't do it. Save yourself.

The safety record of the train, and not dealing with fare jumping/fights seen frequently at metro stations is better. Does it cost more? Yes yet I don't think it's exorbitant when inflation is factored in. There's plenty of parking here. You can take the train north or southbound depending on rush hour. I like this one's visibility, and also the platform is attractive and well built. The stair climb is admittedly a exercise routine. Get those steps in! If you're in the area, and want to go to DC at Union Station, this is the most sane way of getting there.

For a monthly ticket (unlimited) it is about $200 and parking is FREE at rolling rd and most stops. The only reason this got 4 stars is because the train times are a bit inflexible (it only runs from 5am-8:18am in the morning, and 4-7pm in the night), so you are tied to the trains schedule when going to and leaving work. There are also limited stops (listed below). I would recommend to anyone who goes from the Manassas/ burke / ffx area to Alexandria, Crystal city, L'Enfant plaza, or union station.
