Metro prepares for changes to hours, schedules and fares this weekend

Beginning June 25, Metrorail system hours will be adjusted to enhance safety and reliability by providing more time for new categories of maintenance and testing that were not possible before. The new hours are:

	Open	Close
Sunday	8 a.m.	11 p.m.
Monday - Thursday	5 a.m.	11:30 p.m.
Friday	5 a.m.	1 a.m.
Saturday	7 a.m.	1 a.m.

Note: On Saturday, June 24, the Metrorail system will close at midnight. The first 1 a.m. closing will be Friday, June 30.

Last train times vary by station. To check the last train times for a particular station, visit wmata.com/stations.

On Metrorail, changes are being made to service levels during rush-hours only, where trains will run every 8 minutes on each colored line, rather than every 6 minutes on most lines today. On the Red Line, trains will run every 4 minutes between Grosvenor and Silver Spring; trains between Shady Grove and Glenmont will run every 8 minutes.

The Blue Line, which today runs every 12 minutes during rush hours, will see an increase in service with trains running every 8 minutes -- the same as all other lines.

Rush+ Yellow Line service between Franconia-Springfield and Greenbelt will be discontinued. During rush hours, all Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Mt Vernon Square. (Yellow Line service will be extended to Fort Totten during off-peak hours.) Riders north of Mt Vernon Square should use Green Line trains for continuing service.
