I am looking to travel from Balitmore Int'l Airport on Feb 22, which is a Thursday, to Washington DC and back to Baltimore again on Feb 25, which is a Sunday. I will be landing at BWI at around 10 30 pm and hence will be looking to catch either a bus or a train to DC at around 11pm on Thursday evening. Then I need to get back to BWI from DC on Sunday at around 6 30 am to catch the 7 55 am flight.
So what is the best way and the cheapest (safe) to travel to and from Baltimore and Washington DC? Looking to find out the time required and the fares. Taking a cab is somewhat too expensive for me.

Thanks.

How much would the cab fare from BWI to DC be?

Boy, you picked some dicey flights.

There is a train station for BWI airport served by both MARC (local train system) and Amtrak. The Amtrak is much more expensive. Unfortunately you will be arriving after the last MARC train and MARC does not run on Sunday. If your plane arrives on time there is an Amtrak at about 11:45 and another about an hour later. That's it 'til the morn. For Sunday morning there are also 2 Amtrak trains from Washington that (if on time) will get you to BWI early enough.

I have no idea about the busses but I suspect you may be arriving too late Thursday and leaving too early Sunday. If you can get your tickets changed without penalty to Reagan Airport you should.

Unfortunately the poster before me is right. There are trains that stop at the BWI airport and go to Union Station in D.C. but they don't run all that frequently. MARC (the commuter rail trains) run pretty infrequently and not at all on Sundays. Amtrak is a little more but they run more frequently. I think it's about $10-15 each way but it's cheaper than a taxi.

There is ground transportation information at the airport's website www.bwiairport.com
