Riding transit in Washington DC

Metrorail has six color-coded lines (Red, Orange, Blue, Silver, Green and Yellow) serving the District, Maryland and Northern Virginia, including Reagan National and Dulles airports. Metrobus covers the rest of the region; its routes were renamed in the June 2025 Better Bus redesign. MARC and VRE commuter trains run to Union Station. Our trip planner combines them all.
