So this metro stop compared to many others could use some help. Even when comparing it to the…read moreDowntown Largo stop it is lacking and both are in Prince Geortge's County. If you ride the metro you can see there is an obvious difference with certain metro stops when compared to other areas and especially to those on the VA side. Many of you know what I am saying. If you see the Allied security people in the parking lock I think they just like playing dress up because they really don't do much. Not body shaming but if something went down I do not see any of them running more than 20 feet so maybe that's the reason they stay in their car. I can say they are not doing much from what I see. If you see the Metro police which is a rarity, you will think that something must have happened for them to be out at this station. It would be nice if they were around to handle some of the things you will see at this metro. What do you see? Well, some of these include constant fare evaders, a man with his phallus out (in front of kids) at the entrance front of everyone urinating at the entrance (sorry no pictures), and a train schedule that's seems to be optional. This is not just a Branch problem but it is more prevalent at Branch. The trains seem to be having a hard issue with the retorn to office and the arrival/departure times are nowhere close to being correct. This is one of those things where it might be an only option for some and based on convenience it is the best option also. Still it would be nice if the give a damn was turned up a bit more to equal what I see in other stations.

I then walk a short distance, past all the people "posted up" against the rail to the C 21,22,29 Bus stop to find a crowd of people standing as closely to the curve as possible, in a "I'm getting on first" fashion. In the midst of that clutter, there is always some middle aged bum with a beard that pulls out a Marlboro 100 and lights it - he inhales his cancer stick, and spews out the remains into the air where all the school kids are waiting as well. I felt so bad for this one kid standing behind him as he blew the smoke right into her face. Also, forget about getting a seat on the bench - There is always this young gal and her 5 kids taking up all the seats. She is sure to sit them sparingly throughout the bench while she watches them from a distance and takes her much needed "smoke break". If her kids don't take up all the seats, her bags will. But wait - there is more! The guys are atrocious! They will squeeze their way unto a bench, and if you walk up and even look at them - they will pretend your not their, or blast their music so they cant even hear you ask too sit. When the bus arrives - they pop up and run to the front and will look at you like your retarded if ask for their seat (which most woman don't, they just end up standing on this overly crowded, loud, long bus ride). The Hispanics only get up for their kind, and the young black guys are just a joke when it comes to chivalry. I only seen a young black male get up once for someone and in him I said "humanity restored". Well this is just a sum up of what you will expect at this station.

One ride with a transfer and and setting foot in three key stations should be enough for a review…read moreof Washington D.C.'s Metro system (operated by WMATA in concert with a bus system). I guessed that this rapid rail system was inaugurated after the Bay Area's BART and before Atlanta's MARTA. That was the case, with it being inaugurated in the bicentennial year while BART kicked off in 1972 and MARTA in 1979. Some people are weird about using public transit. If the entire route might be very sketchy, I can see why one might avoid it. However, if transiting between major business and governmental hubs, and especially during daylight hours, I don't understand why someone would not use it. My Washington D.C. Metro trip was on the cheap, augmenting an earlier cheap experience that same day. In coming in from Virginia's Hampton Roads area into the nation's capital on Amtrak, grandiose Union Station is the place one gets off the train. Parts of Union Station are not sufficiently modernized, so struggle some, go the distance, and find the entrance to the Metro station located there. WMATA has single ride and day passes. Like BART and MARTA, cards with magnetic strips are needed to get in and out of your first and last station. The trains are punctual and surprisingly clean. The rolling stock definitely looks like that of the BART or MARTA era, except that the sides are slightly tapered upward, which gives them a sleeker look. Having always gone into the District with a rented car or someone else's, hunting for street parking was what is was all about! But that was a while ago and the District keeps getting busier. While I appreciate the grandeur of D.C., it's not my kind of town. That said, I've seen many photos of Washington's Metro, with most of them focused on the subway station at Union Station. I thought that this was a unique design and looked like it might be of the scale of Atlanta's Peachtree Center station. It is anything but that, being a lot "cozier" in scale, and that same template is used in many of their subway stations. But it's not a bad design, because, in addition to doing its job, manages to look '70s and space age at the same time. In addition to electronic boards telling you which trains are due, a unique feature is the lighting in the pavement that signals when a train is coming in and how to board it. The system's layout looks serpentine. I'm sure there's a logic to that. It might have to do with two rivers merging in this area and streets that are rarely gridded in the larger area. In Atlanta, there are many narrow winding streets; however, they superimposed a cruciform layout for their rapid transit system while, in the D.C. area, they did not. That means more that more familiarization is needed, which would require using it regularly. Most tourists won't get to that level that easily. There are 6 lines, all of which come into D.C., and then continue to service adjacent Virginia and Maryland. One thing that might make it more understandable is that 3 of the lines seem to share a trunk through an important swath of the District. In other cities, the main subway station is often under the main train station. Here, Union Station is but a stop on one line, with Metro Center and L'Enfant Plaza being the most important (transfer) stations. Still, the Metro goes to almost all of the historic landmarks and sites, key governmental buildings, and a number of colleges, one of which - the University of Maryland - is outside the District yet in its service area. Not that I had time, as I was headed to DCA Airport, but I noticed that Metro trains do not go to Georgetown, which might have to do with the topography and many green spaces in the Northwest quadrant of the District. The closest Metro station is at Dupont Circle and, from there, one can take a bus, a taxi, or a rideshare. If not oppressively humid or wintry, the remainder is walkable. I might have given WMATA 3 stars because of the ongoing delays in opening the Silver line to Dulles Airport (IAD), the large international hub airport for the metropolitan area. Much like how Denver's mega airport had teething problems with their then new baggage conveying system, the signaling and control system on newer stations was among the last things to create hiccups and they had to postpone acceptance of the project and opening up the Dulles Airport station, which had been sitting there looking ready to go. With the Silver line now open to IAD and beyond, and the ease of getting the DCA, I'll go with 4 stars. It might be fun to use the system to explore some key sites in D.C. and its surroundings, but that would depend on if and when I'm in that area again.

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.

There is a lot of congestion for people leaving and entering since there are only a few entry points. People don't have their fare card out or find out when trying to enter/exit they have no funds on their card and have to get out of the way. The people who are supposed to clean the train do so haphazardly and do enough to look busy. Sadly, people are disrespectful and smoke marijuana on the train with no regard to kids, elders or nonsmokers. Keep your head on a swivel. When school is in session, the teenagers that ride the train are rude, can be aggressive and love to put their bags or feet in the seat when there are seniors or working folks who'd like to take a load off of their tired feet. Best advice is to keep the peace unless you have to speak up. Fare evading is real. Those who do it, do so blatantly. Security on the train is minimal and you shouldn't expect them to do much. Out of necessity, people ride the train and if other options were viable, they'd probably reconsider. However, it's a benefit to have a metro system as an alternative to driving and having to search for parking that has inflated prices.
