[NABS-L] looking for help on navigating the D.C. metro

[nesma aly]

 There is also an app called DC rider. It is strictly a metro app that
releases the same information that is usually on the screen, show you what
time the train is coming and where it’s going depending on station.   I
personally love this app and use it whenever I ride the metro.
