RSS Feed5A Dulles Airport Bus To/From L’Enfant Plaza Remains In Service
The 5A Metrobus [PDF] direct to and from Dulles International Airport (IAD) is one of Penn Quarter’s best kept secrets and it will stay in service having been pulled back from the brink by WMATA. We’ve walked to/from this bus from Penn Quarter to conveniently access long distance flights out of Washington DC all for the very reasonable sum of $7 ($3.50 for seniors and those with disabilities). The 5A stop on D St SW between 6th and 7th Streets is a 1 mile walk from 7th and H St NW (or take a Green/Yellow train or 70/74 bus).
This is easily one of the best transportation deals in Washington DC as taking a cab or Uber to Dulles is at least a $60 fare. If you take the Silver Line it means a long train ride and switching to a connector bus. The 5A takes you and your luggage from L’Enfant Plaza direct to the front door of Dulles Airport in 50 minutes. The end-to-end schedule for the service is from 4:45 am to 12:19 am on weekdays, 5:30 am to 12:24 am on Saturdays, and 5:30 am to 12:27 am on Sundays.
Until the Silver Line goes all the way to Dulles Airport, now scheduled for completion as late as 2020 (!), we would like to see this bus stay in service.
