How much are Metro fares?
Metro fares are calculated by how many stops you travel and vary during peak and off-peak hours. During peak hours, most fares range from $2.25 to $6 per trip. During off-peak hours, fares typically range from $1.85 to $3.85.
Metro riders must pay via SmarTrip card. These are plastic, rechargeable fare cards that can be purchased by cash or credit at any Metro station or in advance on wmata.com.
All public transportation is ADA accessible.
The Metro consists of six color-coded lines: Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green and Silver. The lines are connected to each other via transfer stations and many Metro stops are serviced by more than one color. Each train car has an exterior electronic sign that marks the color and the direction of the train. Direction is indicated by the final station of that line.
Popular sightseeing Metro stops include the Smithsonian (Orange, Silver and Blue lines), Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan (Red line) and Gallery Place-Chinatown (Red, Green and Yellow lines). You can plan your trip and find the best route using Metro's Trip Planner.
Metrobus provides connections for locations not serviced by Metrorail. Metrobus runs hundreds of routes throughout the city and the greater Washington, D.C. area, with more than 1,400 buses using compressed natural gas or a hybrid electric drive system helping to keep D.C. eco-friendly.
The bus is free for all riders and travels along six specific routes designed for easy-on, easy-off access at points of interest throughout the District. Explore neighborhoods such as Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Woodley Park, U Street and Capitol Hill with the Circulator. The bus even offers a dedicated National Mall route for super easy access to D.C.’s majestic lineup of monuments and memorials. Schedules for every route are available, and buses run every 10 minutes.
Taxis
Taxis use a metered system just like every other city in the country. All taxis also accept credit and debit cards as payment, as well as cash.
You can also download the D.C. Taxi Rider app for your iPhone or Android, which allows you to choose from a regular, large, or wheelchair-accessible taxi, see a fare and time estimate before you hail the cab, and pay either through the app or in the vehicle.
Rail
Amtrak runs approximately 85 trains daily into and out of Washington, D.C., primarily along the 457-mile northeast corridor that runs between D.C. and Boston.
Union Station is the second-busiest train station in the United States. Located at 50 Massachusetts Avenue NE Washington, D.C., the station is easily accessible by Metrorail and Metrobus.

Best Practices for International Travelers to the Conference
Overall, international travelers need to be well prepared before traveling to the U.S. Specifically:
- Be prepared to explain where you are from, why you are coming to the U.S., where you will be staying, and your plans for departing the U.S.
- Be able to explain who you are, what you do, and the purpose of your conference in one or two sentences. (It is okay to rehearse!).
- It is a good idea to have a paper copy of your itinerary and paper evidence of your conference or activities.
- Have your papers organized and accessible—not in your checked bag. It is best to have hard copies—don't assume you can access information on your phone (and it may not be wise to do so).
- Be polite, well-mannered, and professionally dressed.
- Follow western cultural customs of eye contact.
- If you are receiving an honorarium or reimbursement of expenses, you may need to be able to explain how that is within the scope of your visa type, and be clear that you are not coming in to the U.S. "to work." If receiving an honorarium, a pocket letter explaining this may also be wise.
- If you have any criminal history, you probably want to consult with an attorney.
- If you have traveled to one of the 6 countries listed in the travel ban or have ties to those countries, you probably should consult with an attorney.
- Be prepared for delays.
