Metro Late at Night
Flying into DCA late Wedneday (around 11pm) with my wife and 2 teen boys. Plan to take the Metro from DCA to Foggy Bottom - should I have any safety concerns that late at night?

No! No ! No!
The last blue line train heading to DC leaves DCA at 10:55pm. The last yellow line train heading to DC leaves at 10:39pm.
While late night trains and the Foggy Bottom area late at night are perfectly safe, you are arriving too late to use it.
Take a taxi - about $15 (four one-way MEtro fares would have been $1.35 each or $5.40).

when I clicked on your link Bardo1, I saw this:
"Last train departs: Huntington- 12:10 a.m. Fort Totten-UDC- 11:44 p.m.
Largo Town Center- 11:47 p.m. Franconia-Springfield- 12:26 a.m.
(Trains leave exactly three hours later on Friday and Saturday nights.)"
Where did you see the 10:55pm and 10:39pm info?

Ok, and it does mean that the last blue line train departs the airport station for Largo TC/NC at 11:47. On the Foggy Bottom page it says the last train departs for Largo at 12am, which would be the 11:47 dep from DCA.

Our flight arrives at 11:10 pm - we will not be checking bags - so I am hoping we will catch the last blue line train - other wise - with four of us, four pieces of luggage - looks like a cab would cost around $25.

Metro is perfectly safe at night, especially if you're only taking the blue between DCA and Foggy Bottom. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that your flight and luggage arrive in time for you to take the train...it never seems to work out for me when I have a late weekday flight into National.
