Metro from Washington Union Station to Foggy Bottom

這是6月8日去Washington DC的遊記,那天大概下午兩點半抵達Washington Union Station,我的目標是要先去旅館check in,所以我就沒在車站多做停留。下面照片是路經車站裡面的購物中心,現場有點昏暗,不過天花板真的很漂亮。

最下層是車站的美食街,有各國美食,選擇還滿多的。

其實三月底去Bowling Green, OH的旅行,也來過這個車站轉車過,那時候就發現車站大廳都有好多網子,想說這次來應該就會修復好了吧。我好像想太多了,這次來還是發現這些網子仍舊都在。

網子網住了車站大廳的兩個雕像(還是網子網住了旅客?)。

沒有多做停留,我就直奔車站外頭的捷運入口,DC的捷運叫做Metro。

Washington Union Station的Metro入口,是要走出車站外頭搭往下樓的電扶梯。

車站的購票機有兩種,第一種就是這種藍色的,這種藍色的可以購買新的捷運車票,第一步就是選擇票種,第二步就是投錢,用信用卡或是現金卡支付也可以,第三步就是拿票跟找零。如果已經有捷運卡的,也可以放入trade in的插口,就可以加值。

第二種就是這種黑色的機器,這種只能儲值而已,步驟都跟藍色機器一樣,但是就是少了可以購買新票的選項,跟只能使用現金購票。

DC的捷運都是這種圓形隧道的設計,隧道內的燈光都是間接照明,都是從下面打光到隧道頂部,整體在捷運裡頭還是偏昏暗。

這站是Union Station,這站是紅線的。

我要搭的車子進站了,照片拍模糊掉了。

車廂裡面的樣子,都是這種兩個人坐的位置。

我要去Foggy Bottom那一站是藍線,所以我就在這個紅線跟藍線的轉運站Metro Center轉車。

終於抵達Foggy Bottom,DC的捷運都長一個樣,要從外觀認車站還滿困難的,所以我都是靠車上的到站廣播。這站也有GWU的字樣,就是George Washington University(華盛頓大學)的簡寫。

我一走出車站就看到這個George Washington University Hospital(華盛頓大學附屬醫院),用iPhone查了一下地圖,我就沿著這個醫院繞了一個圈子。

還繞到這個有華盛頓雕像的圓環,整個繞了一大圈才抵達這幾天要下榻的旅館。

後來發現,我只要走出捷運站,然後過馬路直走,就可以快速抵達旅館,不用繞這麼一大圈。
