For immediate release: January 25, 2016

Metro General Manager/CEO announces service information for Tuesday, January 26

General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld today announced the following Metrorail and Metrobus service changes for tomorrow:

Metrorail

The Metrorail system will open at 5 a.m., with service on all lines except the Silver Line. Regular fares and parking rates will be back in effect.

Metrorail service will operate on a modified weekday service with trains running every 12 minutes on each line. Stations that are served by multiple lines may see more frequent service.

Metrobus

Metrobus will begin service on a “severe” weather service plan at normal weekday service times on Tuesday. Under the severe service plan, Metrobus service will be available on 79 regional routes. Additionally, Route 5A (L'Enfant-Dulles) and Route B30 (Greenbelt-BWI) will operate on a regular schedule. Under Metro's severe snow plan, only the major routes will have bus service, and only on the busiest portions of each route. 

Bus riders are advised that even on routes where service is operating, delays and detours are possible due to road conditions. More information on how buses operate under a severe snow plan
