The bus runs pretty much on schedule, in my experience. Then you'll transfer to the Green Line, which is $4.50 to downtown DC.

Perhaps my time's less valuable, but I'd fly out of BWI to save $50, or if it meant the difference between a saver/standard award.
Thanks. Didn't realize it is just $6 plus metro and runs on the Holiday.

I lived in Pentagon City for a year and really got used to DCA, but that was when Northwest Airlines was around and in the old terminal.
