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.

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.

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.

Overall 3.5 Stars The Metro is a convenient way to visit DC…read morefrom Bethesda. It takes about 17 minutes from the station to arrive to the main station in DC. 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. We all look forward to seeing you all there very soon once again.But glenmont station needs to be safer from Teenage Take overs there to prevent crime and violence perpetrated by them . Let's make things safe again .Maple Glenmont Metro Station Enjoyable once again .
