2. Then walk 5 minutes to the Metro Station and take a train.
Cost: Metro Smart Trip card is $2. If you have a DC Metro Smart Trip card, bring it. Cost of the fare from College Park to DC is $2. Another $2 for the trip back. So, you can fill $4 to your Metro card for the round trip. Here is a video how to buy and use a Metro card :)
