Due to workforce availability challenges during the COVID-19 outbreak, Metro is making additional adjustments to this weekend’s service, Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, 2020:

Metrorail

·   Trains will now operate every 30 minutes on all lines

·   Hours remain 8AM-11PM

·   Smithsonian and Arlington Cemetery stations remain closed until further notice to prevent Cherry Blossom travel

Metrobus

·   Buses will operate on a Sunday schedule with no supplemental routes

·   In the event of crowding, bus operators may bypass stops to maintain safe social distancing aboard the vehicle.

DO NOT TRAVEL UNLESS NECESSARY. METRO SERVICE IS LIMITED (EVERY 30 MIN/LINE). ALL SPACE MUST BE PRESERVED FOR ESSENTIAL TRIPS ONLY. Consider alternatives to using transit, such as walking, biking, scooters, or delivery services.
