For those of you who want a nicer experience, I have heard great things about Jet bus, which is more than a typical bus but less than the train if you are booking last minute. |
WaPo actually has an article today. They end up suggesting the Vamoose Gold bus |
Don't do it. Buses always get terrible reviews and traffic can really make it a long trip. I would have just taken Amtrak |
Though my reasons differed, similar experience of bus and train. Much better than driving. Enjoy! I always lack: water, snack, book, and jacket. Ear buds/plugs can be useful too! Should the bus make a pit-stop, be sure to hustle! |
I always PACK!
Trains hit trafila too. |
I prefer the train because I can't read or do work on the bus due to motion sickness, but when there are problems on the train, the delays can be way worse than a bus stuck in traffic. A bus can reroute or they can easily send a replacement bus. If something happens to your train, you can be SOL. That happens rarely but if you take the train regularly, it will likely happen to you at some point. |
Clearly isn’t OPs situation. OP just take the train. Metro Union station or New Carollton if you truly can’t fathom Union. |
