For schedules and fares, go to www.howardtransit.com, or call (Monday-Friday: 6 a.m.-5 p.m.) 301/725-4466, or (Toll-free-may not work for you)(800_ 270-9553. Ask your hotel for a list of local taxi companies to pick you up at Snowden Square (perhaps your hotel can arrange for that). To get to Washington, D.C. from the hotel, take a local taxi to Snowden Square (in front of BJs--I believe), (call Maryland Transit Administration at (410) 539-5000 weekdays between 6 a.m. -7 p.m. Eastern Time for exact locatin and schedules). The Broken Land Park and Ride has more buses to Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. From either location, take commuter bus 995 to Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. (Buses leave Broken Land Park and Ride from 5:30 a.m. -7:35 a.m. Return buses, from Washington, D.C. leave Independence and 1st Street, SE between 3:25 and 5:55 p.m. Monday-Friday. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy your trip. Feel free to e-mai me at steve@carfreeamerica.org Steve Atlas Hi Catherine,
