Anacostia has a Metro station. It has some interesting aspects. One is the location. Much different…read morethan other places in DC. This is located across the Anacostia River in a kind of rougher area so be careful here. By looking around the station it looks much different than a tourist area. It serves the Green Line. This is the first station after crossing the Anacostia River from the Navy Yard. It can be said the area is ghetto. This is a much tougher area and there's not much that's right around it. Anacostia Park is quite a ways from here. That would be about the only thing a tourist would come here and see. If you are interested in seeing a more authentic neighborhood in DC then get off here. It's best to come here during the day and not at night. There's usually sketchy looking people asking for money and typical ghetto things like that.

So this metro stop compared to many others could use some help. Even when comparing it to the…read moreDowntown Largo stop it is lacking and both are in Prince Geortge's County. If you ride the metro you can see there is an obvious difference with certain metro stops when compared to other areas and especially to those on the VA side. Many of you know what I am saying. If you see the Allied security people in the parking lock I think they just like playing dress up because they really don't do much. Not body shaming but if something went down I do not see any of them running more than 20 feet so maybe that's the reason they stay in their car. I can say they are not doing much from what I see. If you see the Metro police which is a rarity, you will think that something must have happened for them to be out at this station. It would be nice if they were around to handle some of the things you will see at this metro. What do you see? Well, some of these include constant fare evaders, a man with his phallus out (in front of kids) at the entrance front of everyone urinating at the entrance (sorry no pictures), and a train schedule that's seems to be optional. This is not just a Branch problem but it is more prevalent at Branch. The trains seem to be having a hard issue with the retorn to office and the arrival/departure times are nowhere close to being correct. This is one of those things where it might be an only option for some and based on convenience it is the best option also. Still it would be nice if the give a damn was turned up a bit more to equal what I see in other stations.

Has a location in a boring area. It serves the Green Line. This is the last stop. It means there's usually a train here. The best thing is there's not much of a wait. It has a large parking area. This is good for park and rides. Other features include a lot of stops for busses. This gets pretty busy certain hours. It overall is a typical station with common features. It happens to be the last stop on the Green Line. This is good for commuters with all the busses and parking.

Also station managers are out of their cubicle mostly. This helps lost tourists, or commuters who forgot where they were. Also have found them professional. This station is under ground of course.

This is a decent metro station, and helps you get to this section of the nations capital.

You can find a few places to eat and shop. It serves the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines. It's the first station after getting past the National Mall. The next station is L'Enfant Plaza. It has a ton of nearby tourist attractions. This is right between the Congressional office buildings, which is where most of the governmental action takes place. Close to this is the United States Botanic Garden. The Capitol Building is just past the office buildings from here. It overall is in a safe area. It's conveniently on Capitol Hill. There's always a lot of good security.

Currently the Branch Ave Metro is undergoing some repairs and renovations. Passengers are bussed to…read moreother metro stops via a coach bus that is either express or makes stops prior to arriving at Southern Avenue Metro Station. There is a lot of congestion for people leaving and entering since there are only a few entry points. People don't have their fare card out or find out when trying to enter/exit they have no funds on their card and have to get out of the way. The people who are supposed to clean the train do so haphazardly and do enough to look busy. Sadly, people are disrespectful and smoke marijuana on the train with no regard to kids, elders or nonsmokers. Keep your head on a swivel. When school is in session, the teenagers that ride the train are rude, can be aggressive and love to put their bags or feet in the seat when there are seniors or working folks who'd like to take a load off of their tired feet. Best advice is to keep the peace unless you have to speak up. Fare evading is real. Those who do it, do so blatantly. Security on the train is minimal and you shouldn't expect them to do much. Out of necessity, people ride the train and if other options were viable, they'd probably reconsider. However, it's a benefit to have a metro system as an alternative to driving and having to search for parking that has inflated prices.

The trip was quite reasonable: it got the job done and the comfort level was better than expected, despite a full train. Most passengers were considerate (except for one family that played a TV show loudly on a cellphone; an annoyance that reflected more poorly on them than bothered people sitting more than two rows away). I also liked it that my car at least had a faucet for dispensing drinking water, and a good supply of cups. On a long trip, staying hydrated is important. (I am not sure if all cars had water dispensers though.) My only complaint is the bathrooms -- they got increasingly dirty over the trip. Towards the last quarter of the trip, one of the bathrooms became unusable because it looked like someone peed on the floor. I don't think he (or they, if it was cumulative) did it on purpose; the toilets are very small, and on a rolling train, it's easy to miss. Fortunately they were other bathrooms that remained, not clean, but at least usable (for gents). Oh, even though the ride is called "Lakeview", you only saw a lake (Lake Erie) for about 1 minute. The rest of the trip was land on both sides, except for crossing rivers. No big deal; most of trip was night anyway.
