Beautiful terminal with great amenities, however I would avoid during pandemic. Due to social distancing at local shelters, homeless persons have taken refuge within the station. Seating near gate areas is sparse and mostly occupied by the homeless. There is no designated seating area for ticketed passengers. I would recommend taking a train during the daytime, or if able connect with an Orange line metro train at its eastern terminus in New Carrollton, MD (served by most Regional trains). To Amtrak, please consider adding more seating near the gate areas sectioned off for ticketed passengers only (as seen in New York Penn). Homeless is a very complex issue, however measures should be taken to keep paying customers safe.

We went to DC from NYC in a bus so got down at union station. To our surprise the station was splendid.I thought NYC union station was the best so far but this ones not less. The architecture is superb. There are food places too if you have to wait for a train or bus you have all that you need to kill time.Only issue we had was directions to get out of the station as we were going to the Strip of monuments and had hard time getting figuring out the route to get out.

We are arriving at Union Station by way of the MARC. Is there a way to see how far we will need to walk to board the Metro Red Line? Also I will want to go to the main office to buy passes for Seniors.

Assuming you make it out of Union Station alive it is a short walk to the metro. Depending on what time you arrive you can either ask at the information desk about passes or you can fair your chances with one of the many homeless that inhabit our beautiful train station.
