    WMATA has improved. No doubt about it. While I wish trains were more often on evenings/weekends,…read morecommunication has been improved upon. The new audio system and screens help. Also station managers are out of their cubicle mostly. This helps lost tourists, or commuters who forgot where they were. Also have found them professional. This station is under ground of course. The escalators and elevators regularly work. That wasn't always the case. The new gates are more efficient. There's a slight jump up in price, but we are living in strange times. This is a decent metro station, and helps you get to this section of the nations capital.

You can find a few places to eat and shop. It serves the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines. It's the first station after getting past the National Mall. The next station is L'Enfant Plaza. It has a ton of nearby tourist attractions. This is right between the Congressional office buildings, which is where most of the governmental action takes place. Close to this is the United States Botanic Garden. The Capitol Building is just past the office buildings from here. It overall is in a safe area. It's conveniently on Capitol Hill. There's always a lot of good security.

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.

    I'm not one to "love" public trains by any means; however, the Metro was super easy to use to get…read moreto and from Reagan Airport and sightseeing in downtown DC. They do have stations peppered throughout and you can usually get to places pretty quick once you've got the map down. The people were much nicer than those I've experienced in NYC and it was a bit more like Chicago. Trains themselves clean and the stations weren't too bad either. Some a little dimly lit as you may be below-ground but still feels safe. Can't recommend enough - save gas, fees and frustration. Take the metro!

    The Smithsonian Metro station in Washington, D.C., is my go-to gateway to the National Mall, and…read morelet me tell you my first ride on the D.C. Metro was an absolute riot! I hopped on expecting a chill, leisurely cruise like some other cities' subways, but nope this thing hauled ass right out of the gate. It accelerated like it was late for a very important date, screeching around corners, jerking side to side like a caffeinated New York train on steroids. The cars were swaying wildly, I was gripping the pole for dear life, laughing out loud thinking, "Subway gone wild! This is a thrill ride disguised as public transit!" It was hilarious and exhilarating definitely not your grandma's slow commuter train. (They've probably smoothed things out a bit with more automation these days, but that memory still cracks me up.) If you're visiting D.C. in the winter months when it's freezing out, ducking into the Metro (especially at Smithsonian) is a lifesaver warm, quick, and drops you right in the heart of everything. Parking downtown is a nightmare and wallet-killer, so snag a cheaper hotel farther out, jump on the train, and zoom in without the hassle. It's a smart, affordable way to get around, and if you're a train nerd like me, that wild ride might just become the story you tell for the rest of your life. Highly recommend 5 stars for the nostalgia alone!

A few walking distance from Air Space Muesum and Art Gallery, you get a lovely view of the US Capitol. I suggest wear sneakers. Don't wear sandals or Crocs. Your feet will hurt! This station is very clean, well maintained and operated. Station managers are always present and friendly! However the prices are insane unlike other major cities MTA. The so called peak time ends after 9pm on weekdays , holidays and weekends the prices are very reasonable.

    I just noticed that I actually never hit the publish button on this review from last year…read more(pre-Covid) when we traveled by train from Nawlins to Pittsburgh. While a few things have changed my honey just took the same train to Providence, RI and will be taking the train back to NOLA again this weekend. We do love to take the train and will likely make another trip to see our kids in Pittsburgh later this year. So here is the review from my last train trip as was written in real-time. The National Railroad Passenger Corporation does business as Amtrak. The company is a publicly funded railroad service operated and managed as a for-profit corporation. In the United States travelling by rail was extremely popular until the popularity of the automobile started to rise in the 1930s. Today Amtrak operates 374 trains on over 31,000 miles of track in 46 states and three Canadian provinces. The most popular service is the North East Corridor9 (NEC) and accounts for 11.4 million of Amtrak's 31.6 million yearly passengers. The company has 20,000 employees and had $2.88 billion in revenue in 2012. So far the highlight of my tŕip was at breakfast. Half way through taking our order I noticed our server's name tag was hidden by his apron & I asked him what his name is. My sweetheart chimed in with "his name isn't important" with a laugh as he wrestled his name tag out. I didn't know what to say to that, nor apparently did he because he didn't reply at all. I noticed it was Carl and I called him by name for the remainder of breakfast. I laughed at my wife because even though she was trying to the facilitate the process of clearing the isle, for others to get by, it just sounded messed up LOL We're somewhere north of Hotlanta on our way to Gastonia, NC tonight (my old stomping grounds) and DC in the morning and we're nestled in our beds & our choo choo ride has been delightful thus far. Boarded at Union Passenger station in Nawlins at 7am after 30 minutes in the Magnoloa room lounge with water, coffee, muffins and comfy seats. We boarded early at 6:25am & got settled in our little room before departing promptly at 7am. All of the large berths were already reserved, so we had to go with the roomette. The room is very small with 2 seats facing one another that folds down into a bed and a larger bunk above that slides down into place abive. There's a toilet that doubles as a seat & fold up sink that has hot & cold water as well as ice water. Much like smaller boats they utilize every square inch of space. There's a thermostat for the AC, lots of light controls an intercom for the Porter, (our guy Carl will be with us to DC, nice guy), a couple electrical outlets and big windows for the scenery. You can pull the curtains on the door and outer windows and it's private & pretty dark dark even facing the sun. If you want a shower there is a dedicated shower room with lots of fluffy towels and toiletries, it's pretty nice & located in the sleeper cars. The meals are included with all sleeper tickets so we were off to breakfast. We has 3 egg omelettes with cheese & veggies, I had sausage, wife had bacon, potatoes & croissant. I was extra hungry after the French foo foo dinner last night so I added pancakes & all topped off with OJ & Dunkin coffee, nice. Our guy Gary, in the dining car, will be with us to DC as well & he's extra sharp & very nice) For lunch we both had house salads & cheeseburgers with Kettle chips & pickle finished off with a strawberry topped cheesecake & a special pecan topped chocolate & caramel cake. Dinner was extra special because I had the flat iron steak with large lump crabcake while my sweetheart had the grilled salmon and we both had baked potatoes and mushroom green beans. We finished this off with strawberry cheesecake & fresh coffee. Yes this is a lot of food, especially for us since we normally only have two meals a day, but the food is very good and it's very pleasant in the dining car. After dinner we went back to our room to read and watch the night lights. Carl showed up at 9:45pm to offer to setup our beds, freshen the linens and prepare our little space for the night. We headed for the lounge which has snacks and a full bar. Yuengling for my honey & ginger ale for me. I just started this review when Carl showed up to give us the thumbs up signaling our room was ready. So it's nice & dark, the wonderful swaying of the speeding train and the low rumble of the wheels rolling along the tracks. It's otherwise very quiet and quite peaceful so I will end this review for now. I've set my alarm so I can get a shower and lots of coffee before breakfast. (there's a coffee pot with ice & bottled water just outside our door, nice!) Bottom line: Choo choo rides are awesome, who needs the hassle, stress & strain of 20+ hours of driving? Good night peeps!!
