This is one of the few underground stations, so it is naturally dark and not well lit. I've been through this station a few times for years going to Georgetown. The signage makes it very easy to navigate through this station. This is a transfer station between the silver/orange/blue lines. Google maps wanted me to pass Rosslyn...get off at Foggy Bottom, then travel down on the blue line through Rosslyn...nonsense. For a Saturday, the station was fairly busy. There is a very long escalator going up and down...even though I prefer the stairs option.

The closures of Dunn Lorring Metro Station is the main reason for this.   I have watched this area transform from what the area use to look like.  I see high rise apartments  along with businesses like The MITRE Corporation, Northrop Grumman  and The Archer Hotel which use to be a Hilton Hotel. The Sushi Umi store has been there since 2018 and I do not believe the restaurant ever opened.  Please correct me if I am wrong. The McLean Metro stop from what I saw today look clean and well maintained.   The escalator steps were the only thing that looked worn and scuffed up from heavy traffic...as it should be. I saw the cost of getting a day pass is still 10 bucks with $8.00 dollars being credited to your Smartcard.  I saw the new prices for Rush Hours and Non-Rush have changed in price.  Now Non-Rush Hour's price is  $2.00.  I failed to take a picture of the new time prices, but a least you know the Now rush hour time  starts at 5:00am ends at 9:30am.   Rush Hour starts up again at 3:00pm and ends at 7:00pm. I did not get to the top of the subway area, but I will another time.  Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing the new area of Tyson's Corner from the Metro Station.  I will be sure to ride the Silverline  from start to finish some time on Saturday in the distant future.   Maybe even stop by and visit Relaxation Station  at Weaton Mall. We will see.

I've been through this station a few times for years. The signage makes it very easy to navigate through this station. Both the silver and orange lines stop here. I didn't have much interaction with staff, but she was friendly when I asked a question. It was relatively well-kept. There are 2 flights of stairs/escalators to enter/exit the station. For a Saturday, the station wasn't terribly busy inside or even outside.

The Smithsonian Metro station in Washington, D.C., is my go-to gateway to the National Mall, and…read morelet me tell you my first ride on the D.C. Metro was an absolute riot! 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!

A few walking distance from Air Space Muesum and Art Gallery, you get a lovely view of the US Capitol. I suggest wear sneakers. Don't wear sandals or Crocs. Your feet will hurt! This station is very clean, well maintained and operated. Station managers are always present and friendly! However the prices are insane unlike other major cities MTA. The so called peak time ends after 9pm on weekdays , holidays and weekends the prices are very reasonable.

This metro section of course, is convenient to the busiest part of Northern Virginia. I'll sometimes ride it, to avoid driving in the Tysons area. Yes it is that bad. This station being newer looks nicer. Yet it's still that utilitarian vibe. Having traveled on metro's of other countries, there's no art work or architectural achievements of note. That's kind of sad. Does it work? Yes although delays are quite common. I like this station due to saving me the drive, but otherwise there's nothing screaming excitement about it. This is public transportation, so people watching is available.

The drivers are usually friendly- there is one who is slightly cranky- and I've never had an issue getting a seat on the bus. Also, the bus is always clean. According to their website, a bus comes around 10 minutes on average, although I've definitely waited longer, especially late at night. I do wish the hours were a bit longer, and that it ran on Sunday. I also wish that you could track it's location online- a few times, I've slowly meandered around my apartment getting ready, only to leave my apartment and have the Circulator just leaving my stop. Being able to anticipate when it will arrive would save a lot of time. I also wish they would expand the route, including to the Medical Center Metro. But overall, it's a great service and very convenient!
