Reply to comment by NYVlone in Going to National Mall to see the Cherry Blossoms tomorrow. Where is the best location to park my car? by [deleted]
Yes, the MARC train is considered Light Rail…the Metrorail intersects at Union Station so you can switch there and take it wherever you want. Union Station is a perfect location to board your buses, get an Uber, taxis, etc. so you’ll have many options available to you. You can also walk to the Capitol from there which is basically the top end of the National Mall and work your way down by foot if you’d like. There’s also rental scooters and bikes everywhere.

You can also just get on the Metrorail at Greenbelt and go straight to the station nearest the Washington Monument

so I can take the MARC from Odenton or Greenbelt to the Smithsonian station?

You can either drive to Greenbelt and take the MARC or Metrorail. If you do that, you might as well take the Metrorail so you can go straight to the National Mall station. If you prefer to take the MARC from Odenton, you might as well take it all the way to Union Station and then either switch to the Metrorail for National Mall or any of the other means available (walk, scooter, Uber, taxi, etc).
