Metrorail
and Metrobus
are the mainstays of DC's premier transportation system comprising
64 rail stations and over 350 bus routes. Metrorail stations
are modern and well-laid out with quiet and comfortable cars. This
safe system has its own police force and employs closed-circuit
TV cameras to monitor station areas continuously.
 Metrorail
provides direct service to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
and Union Station (Amtrak and MARC). There are a number of
Metrorail Pass
options for sightseeing around Washington. One
Day Passes are $5 and are valid for one day of unlimited Metrorail

trips costing up to $1.75 between 5:30 - 9:30 a.m. and 3 - 7 p.m.

to pay additional fare. Pass will be returned for continued
use during valid period. 7-Day Fast Passes are $25 and are
