Metrorail service delays to continue another week

Metrorail service delays to continue another week

Metro’s trains will continue to run on their current reduced schedule at least through Oct. 31, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said in a briefing Friday.

That means trains every 15 to 20 minutes on the Red Line, and 20 to 30 minutes on all other lines.

“I also want to encourage customers to utilize Metro bus as an alternative where it makes sense for them,” Wiedefeld said.

it was not a good feeling as we're still in pandemic. Everyone I saw was masked up.

Buses are also crowded as they have not increased service to compensate for the train shortage.

So I drove today and paid $15 for parking when it would have been just $4 metro round trip or $2 for circulator bus round trip. Oh well
