The cost of the 5A bus went up, and so are metro fares so i don't know the actual cost. Check the wmata.com site for fare and schedule

Note that the 5A MetroBus on weekdays runs every 40 minutes most of the day, and every 30 minutes during the morning and afternoon/evening rush hours. It runs about once an hour on weekends and holidays. The schedule is at http://www.wmata.com/bus/timetables/dc/05a.pdf

While just about all Metro fares (bus and rail) went up on 7/1/2012, the cost of the 5A and B30 airport express buses did NOT go up. They still cost $6 per person - using cash or SmartTrip card. Note that the senior fare (age 65 and up) is just $3 - you can flash your Medicare card to get that reduced fare.
