Farragut North Station

Story

Farragut North is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C., on the Red Line.Farragut North serves downtown Washington and is located just north of Farragut Square. It lies at the heart of the business district on Connecticut Avenue, with two entrances at L Street and one at K Street. Adjacent to the L Street entrance was a food court which has its own stairway to the surface; the food court closed in 2007 and was later replaced with a Results Gym location. It is the third-busiest station in the Metro system, averaging 27,200 passengers per weekday as of May 3, 2006. It is also one of the most shallow, with a lower-than-usual ceiling. The low, flat ceiling at the west end was built to accommodate a proposed freeway ramp to Interstate 66, which was never built. Service began on March 27, 1976.DescriptionFarragut North station features unique architecture not seen in other stations throughout the system. Its mezzanine stretches across more of the platform and is longer than most, with an open depression looking onto the platform in the middle. There are two elevated "aisles" that serve different escalators and exits. Special buttress-like structures support these stretches of the mezzanine.As part of the long-term capital improvement plan dated September 12, 2002, WMATA has proposed building an underground pedestrian tunnel connecting this station with the Blue, Orange and Silver Line station Farragut West. On October 28, 2011, Metro announced its Farragut Crossing program, allowing riders using a SmarTrip card up to 30 minutes to transfer for free by foot between Farragut West and Farragut North stations.

It's metro, that says plenty. But the station is always clean, no construction problems, they've been using giant fans to help keep things cool lately. Dint have crazy numbers of homeless here. It is connected to Farragut West by "virtual tunnel " so you have 30? Minutes to swap stations without fare max restarting. Easy walk from here to dupont, national mall and other touristy things

After Dupont Circle, the Red Line remains underground as it reaches downtown, but transitions into cut and cover tunneling, before arriving at Farragut North. This station is the first to be built by cut and cover heading south on the Red Line. It is one of the most shallow underground stops on the system, with a low ceiling at the North end of the platform. The station has classic waffle architecture and an island platform. This is one of the original metro stations that opened in March of 1976. It was the original Northwestern Terminus of the Red Line and the metro system as a whole. The station itself lies on Connecticut Ave, just north of Farragut square. Originally there was supposed to be a transfer point for the Blue and Orange lines here, but the park service blocked it, forcing two separate stations for Farragut square. Passengers instead have to wait until metro center in order to transfer. This is a good stop for many DC area attractions, and is one of the closest to the White House.

The way cards are issued is very unclear. The machines help you buy a card vut do not teach you how to Transit and don't state in text that each traveler requires a card - although there's value that you purchased on each card. It is not made obvious the best way for people to transit through the metro as a couple or group. If you ask for help from the attendant you will be met with a rude reply and a "how dare you ask a question" when you're brand new to the area and a first time metro traveler.

The elevator had strong urine smell. The Red line is the only one passing through and is delayed a lot
