DC metra train route out to Arlington?
I will be traveling to Arlington, VA and I'm wondering if the DC train routes go out that far? My family and I will be traveling into DC and we really don't want to drive if we don't have to. We're attending a function at Ft. Myer. Where is the closet station to that?

Answer 1 :
Virginia is served by the Orange, Blue and Yellow lines; check out the Metrorail routes map below. Use the Trip Planner on the main WMATA page to calculate which Metro station is closest to your starting point and final destination.
Answer 2 :
Arlington isn't far at all! It's the next city over the bridge. How you will get there on Metro depends on where exactly you wish to go in Arlington. If you have the address, check out the trip planner on http://wmata.com. You may have to do a mix of busses and subway but if you're going near Crystal City, Pentagon City, or Ballston Commons the Orange Line train will take you there!
Answer 3 :
Metro does go into Arlington, Virginia, as it is just across the river from DC. In fact, until 1846, what is now Arlington and Alexandria was part of Washington, DC. Anyway, go to www.wmata.com for information.
Answer 4 :
I think the station closest is either Pentagon or Arlington Cemetery. Im leaning more towards Pentagon. Of course trains run into Arlington, its the city over the bridge from DC. It depends on where you need to go. Orange line runs through North Arlington like Clarendon, Rosslyn, Ballston. Blue line runs through Rossly as well, Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon, Crystal City (South Arlington). I would take train to Pentagon and then the 16 buses. Not sure which letter but it goes up Columbia Pike where Ft. Myer is. It also depends through which gate you will be going through at the base. Its a short bus ride from Pentagon like no more than 10 minutes.
Answer 5 :
Orange and blue lines go to Arlington, VA. Also the airport (Reagan) can be reached by the yellow line and it's in Arlington, VA.
