There are only 5 lines, which are named as colors. Here's a map.
Trains are labeled by their ending station. Some lines share the same track for parts of their journey. The touristy stops are Smithsonian for the museums (yes there are several), McPherson Square to get to the White House, and Capitol South to see the Capitol building.
On escalators stand to the right so others can walk on the left. Let people off the trains before you get on. Don't hover at the bottom of escalators or in the way of train doors.
I'm about to provide this advice to a friend who has about 5 hours to kill in the city today. Anything else I should share?
stand to the right, walk to the left, stay out of peoples' way when using your farecard. if there's a line of folks behind you, let them go.
ReplyDeleteDon't stand in directly front of or in the pathway of the train doors. You will block people's ability to get off quickly.
