Getting around in Washington, DC

Perhaps the best way to get around in Washington is the public transportation service, due to the fact that the city has been named one of the worst cities to drive in the nation, because of its heavy traffic and congestions.

The city's rapid transit system is operated by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), including the Metro Rail and the Metrobus services. The subway and bus system both serve DC, including the nearby Virginia and Maryland suburbs. With 86 stations and more than 106 mils of track, Metrorail is the nation's second-busiest rapid transit system in the country, after the New York City Subway.

The intercity bus service is offered by Peter Pan, Greyhound, Megabus, BoltBus and the Chinatown bus lines, train services also being available, at Union Station, which is the 2nd busiest station in USA, after New York's Penn Station, serving as the southern terminus of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and Acela Express service.

Downtown Washington, DC, people are usually in a hurry (always it seems), so they use the taxi services (which are plenty) to find their way around, which are also a good option, if you don't have to travel far from your hotel or you're not on a budget during your stay in Washington.
