If you are somewhat knowledgeable in riding buses & trolleys, you will get acclimated pretty quickly. The H/Benning Line has eight stops traveling east & west. The H Street platforms are located on both sides of the street & the Benning Road platform on the center median. I started at the 1st stop - H/Union Station, once the streetcar arrived, I pressed the round 'open' button & hopped on. There are about 30 seats or so, a few standing areas & stop request cords readily accessible. The 411: *Streetcars are scheduled within a 10-15 minute range with the expectation to be at each stop no more than 15 minutes apart. *There's a Streetcar Tracker where you can view information in real-time, which is available via the website & smart phone apps. *For the cyclists you can bring your bikes aboard during non-peak hours & if space is available. There are no racks & you are responsible for holding your bike upright while riding. *As of now, its free to ride the DCS. Eventually (no timetable) that will change & & ticket stations will be present at each stop. *Future lines are in the works - Anacostia, North-South Corridor & Union Station to G-Town to name a few. *All Streetcars & stops are equipped to accommodate individuals with disabilities. *Streetcars operates Monday-Thursday 6A-12A, Friday 6A-2A, Saturday 8A-2A & Sunday/Holidays 8A-10P. Due to the nice weather, I elected to walk out of Union Station to N. Capitol & back up to H Street. Yet for a shorter distance, you can exit Union Station on the top level where the bus terminal is located to catch the 1st stop. A fun & for now free way to move around the H Street area if you become tired or lazy. =)

On Friday & Saturday, it runs until 2 am and Sunday and holidays, it runs until 10 pm. Very convenient and happy that the DC Streetcar is still currently free. My husband and I road this streetcar numerous of times this past week since one of the stops is right across the street from our vacation rental. It was helpful taking the streetcar to Union Station, especially with the air conditioning blasting when entering. Being that it is hot and humid visiting DC in July, that a/c was incredibly appreciative and also great to have a little from the sun too. There are so many great restaurants and businesses all along H street, I am glad the city has this provided for residents and visitors a like to take advantage of this free service.

First-time visitor to DC a few weeks ago. My first-ever metro ride was from the King Street station…read morein Alexandria to Federal Triangle. The ride was a breeze and the station was super clean. What was absolutely mind-blowing, though, was the architecture of the buildings right outside of the station exit, and along the couple-of-blocks walk to the White House. Oh my gosh, absolutely stunning. I swear I stood there, right outside the station, and took photos of the building with the clock tower for five or ten whole minutes like a weirdo. I was in such awe!! I'd never hesitate to come through this station in the future.

It's not usually as crowded as Smithsonian (for tourists) or Metro Center (for office drones) so its a less crowded downtown alternative to Metro Center. There's also a decent coffee shop in the Reagan Building plaza right outside the station. The station isn't huge but it's a good alternative if you're going to the Mall of downtown.

I always research trips and I thought I was informed about my travels. The wmata web site was wrong. On Saturday, Twinbrook was the stop I used when the red line was impacted by single tracking and repairs. On Sunday, I started my trip at Twinbrook since that stop was the solution the day before. The glitches switched locations. I learned that Twinbrook wasn't in service (after swiping my card). A nice customer told me about the changes. I left the platform and asked the station employee for help. He was probably having to repeat himself dozens of times during his shift. But I am one customer, hearing the information for the first time. He was frowning, unpleasant and gave confusing instructions. He was also pointing to the wrong exit. When I asked him to clarify where I needed to go, he was rushing me out of the area, telling me to get on a shuttle that would take me downtown. Where? I am fluent in sarcasm but I would not be disrespectful to a customer. Metro employees should be awesome whether I am paying full fare or $2.00. A nice bus driver told me to walk to the other side of the block. She was kind. I walked back into the station. Another Twinbrook metro employee walked me to the area when I explained that his colleague was needing a time out. I had already traveled two hours by car and was wheeling luggage around. Even when I am tired, I am nice. I took the shuttle to Medical Center from Twinbrook. Two opposite experiences in the same day. The employee at Twinbrook needs retraining. The employee at Medical Center needs a raise and a promotion. Kindness matters.

Not to mention there is amazing TOD here for those of us who live in midtown we can hop on the train and grab some great pizza (2 boots) shop at Barnes and Noble, grab some Starbucks, and walk over to Penn station to catch the MARC. The only thing I wish I could change is actually the newspaper racks across the street. The cars never stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, so if your train is coming there is definitely no time to grab a paper. Train time are supposed to be up later this summer, so I can't even complain about that anymore soon! Definitely the best of light rail riding.

Baltimore's Light Rail, which as part of the Baltimore Link rebranding initiative is now formally called Light RailLink, runs from Hunt Valley in Baltimore County to Glen Burnie (Cromwell) in Anne Arundel County, 30 miles south. The Camden Yards station is one of 33 stops on the Light Rail and it serves Oriole Park at Camden Yards which is just steps away as well as nearby restaurants and attractions. The station is a simple outdoor platform with minimal signage and very few places to escape the elements. The MARC train also serves this area so this station is a transfer point to the Camden MARC line. I think of the light rail as being a single north-south Line with a branch for Penn Station and a branch for BWI airport but technically there are three routes as follows: 1. Hunt Valley-BWI (Blue) 2. Hunt Valley-Cromwell (Yellow), and 3. Penn Station-Camden Yards (Red) All three lines come through Camden Yards so be sure you get on the correct train if leaving from this station. Since this station is right in the city there is not any parking here.

If you haven't had the joy, you need to partake. If you are en route to the ballpark area during a game, ready yourself to become part of the flow. The flow that is gravitating towards the ballpark. And not just the ballpark, since the soccer stadium is over this way as well. If you don't know where you are going...yes you do. Just let the flood of people take you. The whole vibe of this station is the same as other one-line stations in the area. One platform, one entrance/exit, one schedule to have to worry about. When it is not gameday, or it is after the gameday rush, you would not know this is the same place. When it's not a rush of people, it's a calm and quiet place.

Compared to other metro station this one isn't the best as there is no covered parking, the station leaves you in the elements, and more often than not the escalators don't work. Even when busy there is always parking in the lot, however. Getting picked up and dropped off by RideShare providers can be hit or miss sometimes as different drivers get sent to different entrances. Many metro riders anticipate being picked up at the "Kiss and Ride" however about 70% of the time RideShares go to the opposite side of the metro on SGT. Hartman Ln. I've been confused myself and seen others with the same confusion. Additionally, when it comes to park and ride, the parking spaces are TIGHT!
