Getting around in DC is not that complicated but once you walk to the wrong direction...

Metro vs Underground

I spent almost a year in England and I had a chance to visit many places. In London the public transportation was really easy to use, everything was just signed and there was always a map what you can easily use if you feel lost. You could buy a daily travel card what you can use in the underground and on the bus. (It costs about 7-8 Pounds or if you go to London with train you can buy a complex travel card which contains the daily travel card).

Here in DC you could just put as much money on a card as you want and you can use it until it has money on it (at least 1.50 dollar). And you have to pay for the bus separately (1.50 dollar for a 'ride').

The other thing I saw here (and nowhere else) is you can carry your bike around in the city even if you have to use a bus, because every bus has a case in the front so they just put it on there while you're travelling with the bus around.
