And behold, the WMATA Metro (branded as Metrorail, so I'll refer to it as that)

 

This is the Silver Spring Station, served by the Red Line. The Red line operates as a loop, as seen on the WMATA Map

I went to visit the Arlington Cementary, to see where JFK's buried. I transfered at Metro Center for the Blue Line, and took some pics while I waited.

This is after the visit, I went down to Old Town, and took some shots there

These buses are DASH buses, which the city of Alexandria runs. Alexandria is the only city in the area which runs its independant bus system. WMATA buses running in Alexandria have to go LIMITED STOP, and can only pick up at designated stops. it is not a closed door policy, however
