Just for fun, my friend Maureen and I decided to ride the Red Line downtown, have lunch and come back. And it was fun! The Cap Metro Red Line Web site was thorough and easy to use with schedules, rates and route maps and a trip planner.
Clearly CapMetro wasn't prepared for the success because the parking lot did not have an available space and we had to park at the curb. Buying a ticket was easy from the ticket dispenser which accepts credit and debit cards. We left the Howard Station at 12:25 on a week day so I guess everyone else was at school or work because the cars were empty.
It was clean. And as we made our way across town, others did board. We
got off at the downtown station which is next to the convention center
and we realized how much easier it would be to ride the train downtown
to events rather than drive and try to park.On the return at 3:15, the cars were full and there was someone from APD to make us all feel safe. The ride was easy and we were able to enjoy our time together without worrying about traffic.
It's definitely something I will do again.
