Anacostia station

Description

Anacostia is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Green Line. The station is located in the Anacostia neighborhood of Southeast Washington, with entrances at Shannon Place and Howard Road near Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (a major street serving the southeastern portion of the city). The station serves as a hub for Metrobus routes in Southeast, Washington, D.C. and Prince George's County, Maryland.Station layoutThe architecture at Anacostia is unusual. Due to cost considerations and the station's shallow depth, the usual arched ceiling was abandoned in favor of flat concrete walls and a ceiling of small barrel vaults (oriented perpendicular to the tracks) similar to the upper coffers in the six-coffer arch station design. The station is an underground stop because the distance between the Anacostia River tunnels and the station is too short to have permitted an above-ground stop. The station has entrances on both sides of DC-295/I-295 (Anacostia Freeway), which necessitated the construction of a slightly longer platform than would be necessary to accommodate trains. In addition, there are no pylons at platform-level at Anacostia.

Located near the heart of downtown Anacostia, this station has a ton of foot traffic due to the huge metrobus transfer point outside. These routes serve Prince George's County. The entire vicinity is very dangerous at all times. Stay frosty here and watch your back. Cops are so used to incidents here that they aren't paying attention when nothing is going on. Shootings happen at this station every year. Do not hang out here and keep moving. More dangerous to head south and east from the station than west and north.
The buses to and from Anacostia always comes either 10 minutes too early or 10 minutes late. The people who use it are just as disgusting and deplorable as the state of the buses. I hate it here
It's a decent Metro station. Plenty of options for connections and overall seems as though it's a lot better than it was in the past.
Its been a while since I've caught the train and bus so I was reminded why I drive! The walk to get in and out of Anacostia Station is long both ways, to the kiss and ride and buses terminal! However, it was cleaner than I remember! The station was congested and the A4 going towards the old Hadley Hospital now Bridgepoint was slow! However, the bus driver was very nice and helpful in getting me where I wanted to go!
Anacostia Metro Station is my neighborhood subway stop; so, I am probably more critical of the station than any other, because I travel through the station more often than all others. 1. The station's gates have never all been open when I went through the station. I am routinely at the station during the morning and evening rush times, when the station is busiest. 2. The station attendants do very little to police bad behavior around and in the station. I have personally been assaulted in the station, twice; and no one tries to do anything about the craziness that goes on around the station. For example, there is a kiss-n-ride at the Anacostia Metro Station, yet no police department active in the area enforces the requirement that passenger pick-up and and drop-off be accomplished at that facility, leading to horrendous traffic jams right outside the Eastern side of the station. No one enforces the smoking perimeter around the station, leading to several asthma attacks for me. Anacostia Metro Station is dangerous, and both Metro Transit Policy and DCMPD are to blame for that reality. 3. The platform is often littered with discarded food and drink containers, with the station minders practically never down on the platform. Metro should do better. 4. Escalators are routinely shut down, forcing those of us to decsend and ascend stairs, despite our physical limitations. You see, the elevator at the station is barely functional, taking approximately 10 minutes to get one upstairs, to the street.
There's something about the Anacostia Metro Station. It's the first stop across the Anacostia River and a major transit hub for buses, bikers, and commuters. On top of that, there's something beautiful about the inside. It still the DC Metro design inside, but it's slightly wider than the other stations making it beautiful. If you love DC and are proud to live here, it's a must at least once.
I have never taken the train to work, it was always the bus. But now I like riding the train. The Green line takes me all the way one train. To work and back home. I get to work much faster. I like.
It’s up and coming.
Its good simply for transportation but outside of that, the station seems to be a hangout spot for people. I wouldn't hang out there.
After riding and getting tward the end of the line, Anacostia's bathroom is NEVER working for the public and there is no where to go once you leave the station.
