Chartered Buses
One Nation local coalitions are organizing thousands of chartered buses from many cities – sometimes at very affordable rates. Click here to find a bus from your area. If you are organizing a bus, you must register your bus on the One Nation site to obtain a parking space. Please register by Sept. 17 or as soon as possible.
METRO from Bus to Lincoln Memorial
Chartered buses will arrive and park at RFK Stadium, which is 4 miles from the Lincoln Memorial, or possibly at the Pentagon, which is 2+ miles. The METRO will be running a weekday schedule on a Saturday. Since thousands of people will be boarding the Metro at the same time, advance group purchases of Metro Farecards are suggested.
To purchase farecards call METRO at 202-962-5700 or 5716. This phone number is for credit card purchases only. If you wish to pay by check or money order you can do so also. When ordering, please state that you are with One Nation Working Together. You can purchase a $9 daypass which is good all day systemwide or you can purchase bulk $5 farecards which would cover the fare to and fom the metro stations that we wll be using. In order to get cards to the purchaser, METRO asks that cards are purchased before September 17, 2010. Download the form to order METRO cards. Questions? email Andrew at ONWTTransportation@gmail.com.
