Arlington is one of the most transit-accessible places in the greater Washington area. The Metro Blue, Orange, Silver, and Yellow lines all run through Arlington, with stations at Rosslyn, Court House, Clarendon, Virginia Square, Ballston, Pentagon, Pentagon City, and Crystal City. The Metro connects directly to downtown DC in 15–25 minutes.
The Mount Vernon Trail bicycle path runs the length of Arlington's Potomac waterfront from Rosslyn south to Mount Vernon, 18 miles away — a flat, scenic route. Capital Bikeshare has dozens of stations throughout Arlington. Reagan National Airport is directly connected to the Metro network, making it possible to arrive from the airport and reach any Arlington neighbourhood within 15 minutes.
