A vehicle actually is not only a liability but also a determinant due to parking fees and good luck trying to find a parking spot. Washington DC is laid out intentionally so that it is very walkable. And if you actually don't use the Metro you miss out on a tremendous amount this city has to offer. Our nation's capital, what more need I say. Everyone should make the trip here at least once in their lifetime. And taking the metro there's no easier, seamless or quicker way to navigate the city.

Price is more than fair and easy to use your own personal credit card or the metro card. Great signage and easy-in and out! This particular location has an entrance into the Mall or to the street.

I was just there a few weeks ago and the trip to DCA cost $2.55 and I avoided traffic - winner! and I love that I can have the Metro app on my phone - in the early days it was purchasing a card at the station (which you can still do) - no thanks. I feel generous giving 5 stars to a public transportation system, but keeping it real, it's good (at least for my needs and experience.) Okay, maybe 4.75 stars, lol.

Ubers and Lyfts are expensive, but the metro is only a few dollars. Prices are a little cheaper on weekends. The station is above ground, and although it is covered, it is in the elements, so if it's a cold day, you will be cold. Make sure you know your next stop and direction BEFORE boarding the train. We got on the train with some folks who had to get off at the next stop to switch directions. It's an honest, rookie, mistake that will cost you time but thankfully not a whole lot of money.

Of all these systems, the DC Metro is the best, measured by its efficiency, scope, design, and operation. I also wish to bring to people's attention the definitive book on this specific subject.

I will say that this is one of the nicest entrances to a Metro stop I have seen. Being in the midst of George Washington University lends to that. Big bust of the first president just step from the escalators allows for the steady stream of people to file by. The station itself isn't anything extraordinary. It has the same aesthetic as every other underground Metro station in DC. The trains were running on time the day I chose this station. Coming at a consistent pace and it didn't matter which line I took as I was making my way to a connection. Even though it looked like every other station, this one felt longer than most. And the way I was heading on the tracks it felt like a longer than usual walk to get the part of the platform where I wanted to be. You have to remember not all trains have eight cars.

This is one of the few underground stations, so it is naturally dark and not well lit. I've been through this station a few times for years going to Georgetown. The signage makes it very easy to navigate through this station. This is a transfer station between the silver/orange/blue lines. Google maps wanted me to pass Rosslyn...get off at Foggy Bottom, then travel down on the blue line through Rosslyn...nonsense. For a Saturday, the station was fairly busy. There is a very long escalator going up and down...even though I prefer the stairs option.

Getting here can be a nightmare if you come from the wrong direction...which I did. The amount of streets you have to cross to get here can be time consuming and maybe even a bit dangerous. Once I conquered the streets I was happy to see that this was the Green Line. No need to transfer to me, just find a seat and settle in for the ride. The station itself is like many of the other underground stations on the system. The concrete tube with the orange hexagon tile. Single platform serving both directions. Older screens to let you know of the next train coming. Easy enough to use station.

The area next to the Metro used to be a hang out for the unhoused and kind of still is, but the presence has been reduced by the current National Guard occupation and the curfew for minors. I do like that this Metro is across the street from the southwest farmers market.

If you are not familiar with the station, then you have to figure our which exit to take so you don't end up 1/4 mile from your desired destination. This station is super simple in that it only has one exit. As the name implies, it drops you off in Federal Center which consists of tons of federal agency buildings. Although this Metro stop may be used by commuters the most, it is also convenient to lovely attractions like the US Capital building, US Botanical Gardens and Bartholdi Park.
