I found that the Flyer Bus costs 10 dollars per ride (which is an extortion!) and it brings you just to a suburb from where it costs even more to get to DC by metro. What does the 5A bus cost from the airport to L'Enfant Plaza?

If you're flying into Dulles, I suggest one of the following methods for connecting onto the Washington, DC, metro system:
Washington Flyer, Website: www.washfly.com/coach.html Where to Catch: Tickets for the Washington Flyer Coach are available for purchase inside of Washington Dulles Airport on the"Arrivals" Upper Level at Door #4. The coach boards directly outside of Door #4 at the curb of the airport drive. Connects to: West Falls Church Metro Station (Orange line)
METRO Express Bus #5A (Dulles Airport Express): http://www.wmata.com/bus/timetables/view.cfm?line=49 Where to Catch: The Route 5A Metrobus boards on the "Arrivals" lower level roadway outside of baggage claim. Passengers should follow the signs to "Metro Route 5A". The actual bus stop is at location "2E" of the ground transportation curb. Connects To: Rosslyn Metro Station (Orange & Blue lines) and L'Efant Plaza Metro Station (Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow lines)

Metro trains and all buses should be running as Fourth of July celebrations will attract thousands to the city. See Metro website:http://www.wmata.com/index.cfm Of course there are always taxis and shuttle buses. See airport transportation. If you walk out of the National/Reagan airport, btw, you may be able to catch the fireworks, as one of the viewing areas is next to the airport. Was just there yesterday and preperations are being made for the large crowds.
Hi,
I asked this on the wiki, but got no response; so I'm hoping someone here can advise me.
I'll be arriving in DC early, to be a tourist for a few days, and my plane lands at 6pm local time on 4th July. As it's a holiday, what sort of service will be running, to get me to Hostelling International?
Also, I'm a birder, and would like to see my first US birds during those pre-Wikimania days Are there any local Wikimedians who are also birders (or who know any), and who could spare an hour or two to accompany me to a suitable open space, and help me out with basic ID?
