Vamoose Bus, Bethesda

Vamoose Bus first hit the road in 2004 driven by the idea that travelers deserve quiet, clean, and comfortable rides. Today, the company offers daily transportation services between New York City and three cities in the DC metropolitan area: Bethesda, Arlington, and Lorton. But three isn't the only magic number behind Vamoose's success—here are a few more digits that shed some light on the company:

• On average, Vamoose transports 6,500 passengers per week, many of whom climb aboard for multiple rides.
• A normal trip between NYC and Bethesda or Arlington takes about 4–4.5 hours; between NYC and Lorton, it's about 5–5.5 hours.
• Vamoose allows you to bring two pieces of luggage at 50 pounds apiece, plus a carry-on.
• 20+: The number of landmarks you can see around the nation's capital while aboard a tour with DC Trails, Vamoose's sister company.
