Look into the MARC train, (Maryland train). You can get from BWI to Union Station for cheap, it is safe, and you don't have to deal with the hassle of the traffic. A bus or taxi will take forever if you are at the wrong time of day. I have gone out of BWI a few times and sent friends/family on MARC and they loved it compared to driving or taxi/shuttles. It is cheap too. I think the last time I took the train it was $9.00

Metro now offers BWI Express Metro bus service between BWI and the Greenbelt metro station. The service provides a direct connection between BWI and the Greenbelt Metro Station (DC Subway). The BWI Express/B30 service runs every 40 minutes, 7 days a week to the Greenbelt Metro Station, which is located on the Green Line of the Washington Metro System. Buses run 25 times each weekday and 21 times on Saturdays and Sunday, every 40 minutes. For more information call 202-637-7000 or go to www.wmata.com.
Fare Total $6.05 (one Way)

The B-30 bus costs $2.10 (with transfer to Metro) and takes you from the lower level of BWI to the Greenbelt Metro station. Once you arrive at Greenbelt - you can take Metro anywhere you wish to go if you're going to National or Dulles or places in Northern VA. I don't know where the other poster came up with $6.05 fare.
Alternatively, you could take a shuttle to the Amtrak station and take Amtrak to Union Station like the other poster suggests - only problem is that MARC doesn't run during the day - only for AM and PM rush hours. Amtrak costs a lot more than $9 to go from BWI Airport to Union Station.

go to craigslist and post that you want/need a ride from baltimore to dc. it's possible you'll find someone that you can carpool with for either free or a small amount of $ or in exchange for something else.

Take the MARC train, it is cheaper than Amtrak, and will take you from downtown to downtown quickly.
