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.

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!

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.

Christopher set me up with a cab for the day on Thursday ( a whole lot cheaper than a limo) so we could do Arlington, Mt. Vernon and back. The rest of the weekend I used the YCDC App and it worked beautifully. Again, no limos, but timely, nice drivers and easy. We tried to get an Uber once, but ended up going back to Yellow Cab. We had a wonderful time celbrating the 250th, and YCDC took away the travel worries I had envisioned. I will use them again.

My kid goes…read moreto school about a 15min drive from home, but no one is able to pick him up and he's too young to take the multiple busses it would take to get home. I used the YC mobile app & web app twice to get him a ride. Both times it said the driver would arrive in 4 mins--guess that's their default--but actually arrived in 15+ mins. When you book, they just tell you the ride is confirmed, but don't give you any information about the driver or how long it'll take for a few good long minutes. After a loooong wait, it says your driver is 4 mins away. The last time I booked with them, I watched the car on the app that had confirmed just sit, not move an inch, for probably 5 minutes solid. Geographically he was super close. Then for about 8 minutes he just inched along until he did finally reach the neighborhood. BUT, he whizzed right by the school and went down the street and just sat there. I called the service number 3 times-- it's just an automated machine. You can request to speak to the driver. Each of the three times I selected it, hoping to let him know that the school was behind him, it ring once and then hung up. After waiting for 16 minutes total for a car that was in the beginning had been like a 6-minute drive away, I cancelled the ride and ordered an uber for $8 more, which arrived in precisely 4 minutes.

Being that I was attending a conference nearby, this was the closest Metro stop for me to take to get to where I was going. I really need to get out more and discover more of DC. Maybe I'll try to use every Metro station to do this. Woodley Park services the neighborhood namesake and Adams Morgan. It is the best station to utilize if you find yourself going to the Zoo. But prepare yourself for a walk. Being on the Red Line you are well connected and can get anywhere you need to. The station itself is fairly deep underground. Around 150 feet below the surface you will find yourself on the typical DC platform. What is crazy here is the long escalator that takes you to another escalator to reach street level. I had wondered why so many people were opting for the elevator here. I now know why. If you are up for it, you are more than welcome to climb the escalator, but you will definitely be tired by the time you are all the way up. Trains are scheduled regularly. Decently maintained.

Location (Foggy Bottom Metro): There is a "Kennedy Center Shuttle" sign located on 23rd Street NW, DC. It is located near the exits for Foggy Bottom Metro and George Washington University Hospital. Once you see the shuttle sign, just wait there until the next shuttle arrives. The area in front of the shuttle sign can get a bit congested at times with other vehicles. Not to worry. If there are other vehicles stopped in that area, the shuttle will move a little closer to the traffic light that is near there, and pick/drop people off from that spot. It's all about safety. Location (Kennedy Center): They have a sign on the curb outside the Kennedy Center for the shuttle. If you are facing the building, look to your left. It will be by the entrance to the Hall of Nations. Once you get in the shuttle, grab a seat. Once all seats are taken, you can stand in the aisle and grab one of the handles hanging from the bars above. They are not very comfortable as the drive is not a straight one all the way. If you don't want to stand, you can always wait for the next shuttle (they run approximately every 15 minutes). Schedule for the Shuttle per Kennedy Center's website * Mondays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Tuesdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Wednesdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Thursdays = 9:45am to 11:30pm. * Fridays = 9:45am to 12am (midnight). * Saturdays = 9:45am to 12am (midnight). * Sundays = 11:45am to 11pm. Federal Holidays = 4pm to 11pm. Don't forget to thank the driver. Visited (Rode) August 2024

A second bus arrived and that driver was not helpful with transferring our luggage to his bus, seeing that I had a boot on my broken ankle. Rude! Once we got to the second bus, the clients on the other bus complained that we were getting on. Our bus had a quiet aura that we adhered to the request. This bus was loud, with everyone speaking to one another, on their phones, etc. we paid for the gold bus experience and got a rotten metal experience. Coming home was better, as our driver kept us informed but the bathroom was disgusting with urine on the floor! Never will I ever travel with them in life! When I sent an email, the manager just responded with "issue do sometime happen". Poor grammar and poor service. I also reported them to BBB.

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!
