Farragut Crossing is Alive!
After years of hoping, speculating and planning, the 'virtual tunnel' between the Farragut West and Farragut North Metro stations has become a reality! Farragut Crossing opened on Saturday, October 29th, allowing users to transfer for free between the two stations.
This creates an important, time-saving point of transfer for many riders. Previously, riders would have to take the Blue/Orange line to Metro Center before switching to the Red Line. Now riders, especially those heading in the direction of Shady Grove, can shave off 3 stops and avoid the often-bustling Metro Center station...provided they are willing to take a 2-3 block walk outside between the Farragut stations.
So, this has me curious - has anyone out there tried it yet? Leave a comment here, or on Twitter and let us know your experience! I'm planning to give it a test run on my way home this evening!
This has me thinking - are there other spots that WMATA could implement a similar plan?
