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.

I admit that I had the chance to utilize the Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center (in Langley…read morePark Maryland/Hyattsville Maryland) less than 9 hours ago in order to ride a bus to a Christmas Eve event that a spiritual mentor invited me to. Fortunately, utilizing the bus system both leaving from the Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center and coming back to this transit center was very easy and affordable. Luckily, the bus drivers I had on both buses were cordial and arrived within reasonable timeframes even with the timeframes I chose being on Christmas Eve.

The Langley Park Transit Center is where 15 or so buses transfer in Montgomery County, MD. There…read moreare many lights, both under the canopy and at the indvidual bus bays. When I was there the other night probably 1/2 the lights were burned out. It is not easy to determine who to contact about this. Because it is outdoors it is very dark at night and potentially dangerous. Also there should be a master list of all the buses that stop there, which bay each one stops at, and the time until the next bus rather than listing them at each bay individually. This should be displayed electronically, Passengers should not have to go to each bay to determine which bus stops where. It is time consuming and inconvenient. There are also many rats at this station, which are particularly active at night. So altogether not the greatest experience transferring there. There are lots of hispanic shops and restaurants in the area though.

A few Uber options are as follows: Uberx is the basic: warning though you might end up in a hoopty. Cracked windshields or a car thats been keyed by a jealous ex. UberBlack -luxury car UberSUV for a large party. UberXl is a step up from basic. I used this one recently. I rode in a nice Dodge Durango at a pool rate. So from Union Station to my destination. However because it was pooled, I was last to go home #sadface. This guy drove slow and I mean slow! However now there are better options now, for us ladies to ride safer. Ladies you can request a female driver now!! I only had one bad experience with Uber but that was a very long time ago. I like this that i can request a female driver and feel safer. If your going home from the airport, make sure you have both apps open and plug in your destination. They prices vary. So from Dulles to home is about 25 miles my ride was only $30. Lyft was me charging $73. Also refresh your app. The rates change. So when its in high demand . The prices go up. Wait a little and see that the prices will drop. Also doing UberShare helps save . I never have to share a ride I also have UberOne which saves me money but im under a promotion period for 30 days.

Sigh... Greyhound, baby why you always late?…read more Sadly, the reviews about punctuality is true. I've taken Greyhound a number of times and it's always late- sometimes 30 minutes, one time up to 2.5 hours. The only bus system I've ever used that has always been on time is Vamoose. Anyway, you get what you pay for. It's conveniently close to Silver Spring metro station. The staff members try their best but they're not the bus drivers. They've always been attentive with me when it comes to updating bus schedules. Tip: print your bus tickets at home or get an e-ticket because standing in line is a huge mess.

The location is a 10-min walk from downtown and a 5-min walk from the Silver Spring Metro. There is…read moreno overnight parking allowed. As for the facility itself? It is cramped, dated, and clearly needs to be refreshed. Dirty walls, dirty floors, and overall disorganized and not a pleasant place to wait for a bus. I don't know how long this building has existed on this block, but it's time to renovate. I paid $60 for my ticket to New York (roundtrip), was able to book online and pick up my printed tickets at the counter there without much trouble. Because I booked so early, I had boarding number 1. The lines were a mess. People were unaware of how boarding numbers work, so they just lined up as if it was first in line, first on bus. The employee who tried to control the crowd did not enunciate or project his voice so it was hard to hear the instructions. Even as a first-time user of Greyhound, I felt that the boarding process did not need explanation, yet everyone already in line was yelling and pissed when others got to board before them. There needs to be a better system to organize. It's not Greyhound's first rodeo. Signs that indicate lining up by number would be useful. Or numerical markers on the ground where you would just find your boarding. Inner and stand there. The interior was comfortable in terms of lighting and temperature, but everything was so cramped together--bathrooms, vending machines, dollies, seats. There was a tiny TV anchored to the ceiling. WiFi did not work. I would not use Greyhound again. Employees yell, are disorganized, and just aren't trained in customer service and crowd control. Go with Megabus or Bolt Bus. Unfortunately neither of these two options depart from Silver Spring, which is convenient and the only reason I chose Greyhound.

Its cool enough, and includes 2 stops…read more They gave us too much time at the Dr King memorial and too little time at the Lincoln memorial, but seeing DC from 7pm to 9pm is the way to go, imho. But if its a hot or muggy day, the photos of smiling passengers will not be indicative of your red/blue line experience. These buses have no A/C, and if you want to sit al-fresco and its a sunny day, you'll be just as sweaty. Think: "summertime Alabama prison bus experience" and this will meet that expectation.

The guy told us to get on the bus and stay on. It would do the red line, then the blue line. We could then do the evening tour. Okay then. Off we go. Finished the red line, and we're told to get off the bus. What? Last bus is at 4:30.. not what we were told. Not happy. We went on to the evening tour. I'd say it was pretty good. I did enjoy that parts of this tour. Didn't enjoy the "stories" so much. Would have liked more history. We got the bus the next morning and went to Arlington. When we finished we went to the stop, not such great bus timing. Their brochure said buses come every 15 minutes. After an hour of waiting we tried to contact BB to see what was going on? They do not have a phone number that works. There is an email address that stars it will get back to you in 24 hours.., what? We waiting over an hour and gave up for an uber. We did get another email telling us there are delays due to events. This is not okay we when have paid for a 24 hour pass that is not usable. All in all, our 24 hour pass was good for 3 hours. Reason for this? Maybe because only two buses run on Sunday. So unless you have the time to wait two hours for your next bus, it's not worth it! Do not use this service!

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.

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.
