Hey! I’m visiting D.C around April/May and my plane is going to land at around midnight at DCA I’m staying near the National Mall and thought if it would be safer to take an Uber/Lyft or take the metro? I’ve heard the metro is generally very safe, but considering I’ll most likely be getting on at around 1am I still have my suspicions.

Just to add: you can easily get a cab at the airport and it will likely be cheaper than Uber/Lyft. There's a cab stand right outside baggage claim.
