Metro Center Station

This place is absolutely thronged with people during peak times, but it's usually pretty easy to get to the right platform, and the architecture has a certain austere beauty to it. I removed a star due to the fact that the main escalators are largely open to the elements at the present time, and the temporary construction shielding that exists is hideous and ineffective.

Decent way of getting around town but it would be nice if they hired drivers that spoke English instead of ebonics so you could understand what stops you're at.

Metro Center is a good Metro stop with plenty of transfer opportunities, situated right in the heart of DC. Transferring or boarding can get especially hectic at this station during commute hours, so be prepared to be sardine canned if you're visiting as a tourist.

A decent public transit experience. Metro Center is a large station with convenient access to downtown DC as well as the orange and blue lines. It is also one one stop away from Gallery Place/Chinatown, which gives access to the yellow and green lines. The station is clean enough to be useable, although since it is a subway system it is still filthy as you might expect. The trains often run behind schedule or operate infrequently, so much so that you will sometimes find yourself waiting longer on the platform than you do on the actual train, depending on your route and the time of day you ride. Metro prices are notoriously expensive, but much of this is due to the high cost of living in the Washington Metro Area. However, if you rely solely on public transit to get you around downtown and do not need a car, using the metro may very well save you money. The Metro Center station is relatively safe compared to many of the other stations located farther outside downtown, especially many of the stations to the east. The station does get crowded during peak hours, obviously, such as rush hour, the time surrounding a game at Capitol One Arena, or when a protest is taking place downtown. Overall, the Metro Center station provides relatively safe and convenient access to both downtown and the heart of the metro system at an expensive yet still affordable price.

When I first saw this place, I honestly thought it was a building, like a legit tower shaped like a house. You know what a house looks like? My friends and I were all amazed!how could this be a monument it's obviously a building! Look at those crisp white lines dude!! Its obvioudly a building! I tried to walk in but somehow I couldn't get in! Can I get a tour guide to bring me inside! You know what else? This building reminds me of the moon, from its smooth white surface to the what it shines just like the full moon, and also, It smells like the cheese, the moon is made of the cheese and this building smells just like the moon, cheese. By the way dose santa live there it looks like the north pole! I wanna eat it. Thank you for your support it hasn't been easy! Because of this I am often bullied! My parents also threw me of my home and disowned me! I'm starting a petion called support the white building! We have to stand up for the rights! The people who say it isn't a building are just like the people who say the earth is flat ! Keep on fighting!
