    The only subway on the East Coast that is clean and comes on time I'll bet.

    Love how the government can have public transit for a few of their office buildings but cities of over a million in the us hardly have busses…

    I love their logic. &nbsp;The challenges of getting to and from their offices, traffic, and weather. &nbsp;You mean like the challenges literally everyone else has commuting to work?

    This is very much open to the public if you know how to request access. Lots of other videos here on YT from transit Vloggers who have ridden and filmed it, it recent years.

    Senate staffer here! After a Capitol tour, ask the office tour guide to escort you back to the office building through the subway. They might be able to show you! Just not the tour guides in red coats.

    I rode on this back in the 80&apos;s when I was in the Boy Scouts.

    Sometime in the early to mid 1950s, my Dad took me on a tour of the Capitol. During the tour, my Dad knew where to go to find the subway and I rode over to the Senate building and back on the car. At the time we were alone on the car.

    My parents and I rode this train in summer &apos;00 when I was 13 and we had special passes but walked in with no security checking us and hopped the train near the Holocaust Museum and took it to the capitol budling. We walked around the 2nd floor and back halls of the house and senate with no escort for hours. This was a year before 9/11

    When I worked in Washington DC a bit over 10 years ago, I rode it a few times. It was pretty neat.
