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).

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.

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'm trying to tell her the door isn't opening she says " it's been opening all day" like I'm lying then says "I don't have time to argue use they're gate" I know unfortunately yet another scorned someone taking their personal issues out on me. Sadly if I was a white man id receive none of this treatment. This just happened. Saturday evening 4/18 11:45pm.

There's a medical office building nearby, a small shopping center with a supermarket, and the rest is all residential. However, it has a decent amount of parking that is easy to access. There is a short walk from where you park to the turnstiles but it's not bad. The station and the tunnel leading into it are spacious and clean. The only time I've interacted with an attendant they were very friendly. I've read about an escalator but I've only ever used the elevators. There are about 6 of them and they come very quickly. For rider purposes, they only lead from the concourse to the platform. The platform themselves are very wide and have benches along the way. I don't plan to go back to driving every day to DC. It's so much better to park at Forest Glen and use metro.

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.

This garage is extremely convenient to all of the downtown shops and restaurants. It's well lit,…read morefairly clean, and has signs that identify which direction things are such as Wayne Avenue, retail/restaurants, elevators, and staircases. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends and evenings because of the time period and because it's free to park if you exit after 9pm on weekdays and free all day on the weekend. There are electronic signs that indicate the number of spots on each level as you ascend the ramps to the next level, but they're usually inaccurate. The technology to sense filled/vacant spots that's used it Tysons Corner Center, for example, isn't used here. Still, I've never had a problem parking. There are usually attendants on duty before 9 pm as well as several kiosks to pay before you return to your car. You can also pay upon exit, but that causes a line of cars behind you and is inadvisable on a busy night.

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.

I called him and he had no explanation except "Call Uber". BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE. I was unable to cancel the ride for another because your app thought my ride was "in progres" AND it wouldn't let me log in to make a phone call through the app or get help. Over and over again for an hour I tried to get help from Uber and couldn't reach a SINGLE PERSON. When I finally did--all they could do was charge me $30 for the trip you forced me to cancel THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN I ARRIVED and then charge me $78 for a new ride--$30 MORE THAN THE RIDE I HAD SCHEDULED. I've now paid $100 to wait an hour to get home when I should've paid $40 to not have to wait at all. They stole money from me, failed to help me when they left me stranded at the airport, finally *did* connect me with an agent only to charge me more than double for all the difficulty, and then made it impossibly difficult to even ASK for a refund--because there's no phone service for customer support. Just their circular AI and a series of multiple choice options THAT DO NOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. They're obviously trying very hard to take ZERO responsibility for your failures. So please know that I will NEVER use UBER again. I'm so done with them that I'm copy-pasting this review anywhere else that I can and giving them as many 1-star ratings as humanly possible.

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.
