This is a small quiet Metro. It feels like you are chilling and laid back. Very calm, cool and collected stop.

The red line is on construction past Takoma until at least the end of August 2024, so I needed to…read moretake the shuttle to get the rest of the way to Silver Spring. The station manager saw me in my confusion and took the time to show me to the shuttles and explain the situation. So sweet! Love this metro employee at this stop! The shuttles are easy to find outside the station and are well marked. Drivers are also friendly. The only downside was quite a bit of litter strewn around.

Another review of a Metro station since I spend a ton of time in the system. Fort Totten is a…read morefairly busy station. It's actually fairly airy, despite being three separate levels since all are open to the outside. It's surrounded by Fort Totten park, several apartment complexes, and the Metropolitan Branch bike trail runs through the property. There are often deer grazing on the grass next to the platforms and around the station, which you can't say you see at the downtown stations! The transit basics: Red and Green Metro lines intersect here. There's a rumor that the Yellow line trains might once again extend here, but we'll see. It's also a bus hub with routes to dowtown, Ivy City, several destinations in PG county, and more. It's bustling during the day and quiets down at night. Since it is surrounded by the park, some might not feel comfortable walking around late at night away from the well lit areas, but I've not experienced a problem so far walking home late at night (I live about a 10 minute walk away).

Wayne Ave Garage - One of the entry points to Ellsworth Drive.  This was taken a couple of summers before the pandemic, but it generally looks the same.

Impressive! I park in a lot of garages and expect to pay a lot to park in most of them, so when I…read moredrove in, I expected this would be no different, but I was pleasantly surprised. This garage uses ParkMobile, which I hadn't used in years, and I had to update it when I parked. I initially chose 2 hours as I was meeting someone at a local restaurant and didn't think I'd be gone longer than that. When the amount came up, it was so inexpensive, which literally shocked me. It looked like I would be gone longer than I expected, so I added another hour, and what impressed me even more was that I was able to stop the clock on parking when I was leaving, and it only charged me for the time I was actually parked, and that was less than $3.50. Again, impressive.

I was just reading my review from 14 years ago after I noticed someone had commented on it and…read moreliterally everything I wrote is no longer true. First of all parking payment rates have drastically changed along with the hours that you need to pay for parking. There is no free half hour anymore. You now have to pay Monday through Saturday up to 10PM. I believe the rate is $1.25 per hour. You also must pay in advance and guesstimate how long you plan to stay and there's no half hour increments so if you only want to pop into a restaurant for carry out, then you need to either take your chances and not pay, or pay for an hours worth of parking. Also, none of the three places I mentioned that I visited exist anymore, but there are lots of great stores and new restaurants in Downtown Silver Spring to explore. This parking garage is the closest one to where all the action is in Downtown Silver Spring.

Wayne Ave Garage - The painted "stop" sign does little to deter drivers from actually stopping.

Wayne Ave Garage - Stairwell access.  This door is usually closed, and people tend to charge out w/o taking into account someone might be on the other side!

Ignore the one star reviews. This place provides great service. I needed a tire repaired and since…read morebusiness was slow when I arrived they repaired it while I waited. Did it cost more than I expected? A little. But I had neither the tools nor the time to fix my scooter. The cost of tools if I purchased them myself and my time would have cost way more than what they charged. I would like to give a shout out to David who provided great service. I also would like to give a shout out to the manager who is responding to all of the one-star reviews .... Those MFs need to be read.

I do not recommend this business. They kept my E-bike for two weeks, didn't repair the problem I…read morebrought it in for, but ruined my battery. When they wouldn't answer the phone or respond to texts, I visited the store. One of the guys working there said I need a new battery. I dropped my bike off with a fully charged battery. They refused to reveal who the owner was; they said to leave a message at the phone number that's on the website. They are incompetent; instead of putting the battery key in the key chamber lock on the frame to eject the battery, they put the key in the battery charging mechanism, ruining it. The battery is no longer any good. They are Embiciles! They rent scooters and probably aren't turning a profit, so they're trying to pass themselves off as a bike and e-bike repair shop. Don't waste your time with this dishonest business.

I take Uber and Lyft almost always a weekly basis or traveling to the airport…read more Sometimes one is better than the other. 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.
