Roadways :
The Capital Beltway surrounds the Washington area. East of the
Interstate_95 exits in Virginia and Maryland, the Beltway has
a double route number: I-95 and I-495. West of those exits,
the Beltway is designated simply as I-495. I-270 connects the
Beltway with I-70. The Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway (I-395)
breaks off of I-95 at the Beltway to connect northern Virginia
with downtown Washington. I-66 begins at the east edge of Georgetown,
connects to the Beltway, and continues through northern Virginia
to I-81. I-295 comes up from the south starting at the eastern
edge of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge on the Beltway and crosses
the Anacostia River into downtown, linking up with I-395. Anacostia
Freeway (DC-295), splits from I-295 on the south side of the
Anacostia, and links with the unnumbered Baltimore-Washington
Parkway via a short section of Maryland State Highway 201.

Bus and rail :
The Washington area is serviced by the Washington Metro public
transportation system, which operates public buses (Metrobus)
and the region's subway system (Metrorail). Many of the jurisdictions
around the region also run public buses that interconnect
with the Metrobus/Metrorail system. Union Station is served
by MARC and Virginia Railway Express commuter trains, and
Amtrak intercity rail. Intercity bus service is available
from the Greyhound Bus Terminal in Northeast and from dragon
buses leaving from Chinatown.
