SUMMARY
The Washington Metro began in 1976 with the Red Line.
The Washington Metro consists of nine (9) transfer stations for six (6) rail-lines.
The lines are listed below:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
4. Yellow
5. Orange
6. Silver
I lived in Washington, DC in the 1980’s and road the subway regularly.
I also lived in Asia for twenty years; and, I have written blog posts on the subways of both Tokyo, JAPAN & Delhi, INDIA.
I believe in a “green revolution” that is possible with subway systems as mass transportation in national capitals around the world.
CONNECTIONS
Below is the Metro map CONNECTIONS to other transportation systems in Washington, DC. The airport and Metro are the connections that are the most memorable for me. I like traveling from Capital cities around the world; and, using the capital city metro railway.
Washington Dulles International Airport in neighboring Fairfax, Virginia is shown ABOVE & BELOW is most popular connection to the DC Metro subway.
The Washington DC bus routes map is shown BELOW; and, the bus routes are an alternative to the subway lines.
