Using public transportation how can I travel from Baltimore to Washington DC?
I live near Baltimore and would like to take a day trip to DC without having to drive there. How can I use public transportation to get there quickly and cheaply- any suggestions of where to catch either the MARC train, or subway, light rail- whatever. I’ve never used any of those before so if someone can give me specific routes or lines. I would like to end up as close to the national mall as possible.
I’d also like to know if it’s safe to ride on the train. I would be with my boyfriend but still kinda scary
Not sure why you’re asking here instead of going to the MTA site where the MARC schedules and other transit options are found.
MARC runs weekdays only and is the best way to get from Baltimore to Washington. Amtrak trains work too, but aren’t as frequent or cheap as MARC trains. MARC trains leave Baltimore at Penn Station on Charles Street, or from the Camden Station in front of Camden Yards. There’s also lots of stops in between.
All trains from Baltimore to Washington drop you off at Union Station, about a block or so from the U.S. Capitol. It’s a short walk to the National Mall.
