Capitol South

Very spectacular

Very clean and safe metro stop that puts me right at the entrance of the Capitol! Quick ride on the blue line, I found this metro stop to be well lit, well patrolled and surprisingly clean for a subway system.

Great location! Perfect on and off point for everything around Capitol Hill. Only 2 blocks from LOC and Capitol. Great Mexican Restaurant 1/2 block south of entrance to Metro.

Very convient and safe location. Also a great acces to the major metro lines. The station itself is fairly clean.

Taking this stop every day for two years now, there is a almost always a broken or under repair escalator to enter the station from street level. For this first set there are three escalators and one set of stairs, as well as an escalator located at the corner. When the going down escalator is broken there is never any signage. Once at the mezzanine there are two escalators to go from the mezzanine to the platform (as well as another elevator).nnThe two escalators (one up and one down) from the platform to the mezzanine cause a large bottle neck which frankly is a safety issue as well. Otherwise the station at least has some heat in the winter and AC in the summer which is better than some other stations.nnFor interactions with the metro employees, it has been mixed. Once a station manager went above and beyond when myself and another passenger reported a drunk man harassing passagers down below. Most of the time, however, you'll see confused tourists not being particularly helped, while station staff are sleeping, talking with each other, or talking to their friends.
