It's the interurban (Metroliner).  Pick it up at Union Station; if you
need to get to Union Station take the Red line.  It's smart to book in advance
but usually not necessary.  Last time I took it (a year ago) it was $2.50
or thereabouts, but the fares have generally increased since.  Trip took
about half an hour in off-peak time.
