In February 2009, across the Potomac River from where Barack Obama had just become the first African American President of the United States, Betty Ungar began operation of Tripper Bus<\/a><\/strong>. Four years later, Ungar\u2019s ten-wheeled business is snowballing, though you might not know it or have even heard of Tripper Bus.<\/p>\n

But for thousands of travelers each month, Tripper Bus is their preferred mode of transit between New York City and the suburbs of Washington D.C. At offMetro, we too are among those who have taken a liking to Tripper when paying a visit to family in Bethesda or to Lincoln on the National Mall.

On your next visit to Arlington, Tripper recommends attending the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and dining at Eventide Restaurant (built in 1925 by a fraternal order known as The Odd Fellows). Top off the day with dancing at Clarendon Ballroom or drinks and live music at local watering hole Whitlows<\/a>. As for getting around Arlington, you\u2019ll find plenty to explore along the Rossalyn, Ballston, and Clarendon Metro stops.<\/p>\n
