Riding on MARC

Did you know that the trip from Union Station to Rockville on MARC is only $5.00 and is scheduled to take 31 minutes, with 1 to 3 stops in between.

By Metro the fare would be $3.90 and it is scheduled to take 34 minutes, with 15 stops in between.

My guess is the MARC is most likely correct. I don't see Metro making that time.

I'll have to time the trains to see if I should spend the extra $1.10.

On the other hand if you're going from Rockville to Silver Spring, the cost is $4.00 by MARC and is scheduled to take 13 minutes, with non-stop or up to 2 stops in between.

By Metro the fare would be $3.90 and it is scheduled to take 48 minutes, with 21 stops in between.

MARC is cheaper, faster, and more direct! Just don't try going the opposite direction in the Morning.
