[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He gets off the Acela at New Carrollton, and goes over to the Orange line. Then depending on the time he switches to the Silver at East Falls Church and goes to Reston, or someone comes and gets him at Vienna.  Metro is now staying open until midnight.

How on earth do you people survive in the real world.[/quote]

Excellent suggestion!! Thank you[/quote]

Probably more likely to get jacked on a deserted late night Metro than walking from a fully disembarking train (which is likely to be crowded based on my recent Amtrak experiences), through a station with plenty of police presence, and into a waiting taxi. [/quote]

Either one is fine, and yes New Carrollton will be more deserted. It’s just less moving around than taking the red line to metro center, and waiting for a silver, because Metro Center always seems to time trains so that the red arrives just after the orange has left, so you can be waiting forty minutes for trains (20 at Union Station, and 20 at Metro Center, which can be a concern if the metro system is close to closing). At New Carrollton, because it’s the beginning/end of the line, there’s always the “next train” for you to sit on . I, female, always did the above because I live on the orange line in Virginia so it was more direct. And OP, if you’re willing to drive to New Carrollton, it’s a lot easier to drive to Union station. And he’s a 20 year old guy, so he’s less likely to be bothered by anyone. [/quote]
