Metro News Release

For immediate release: January 28, 2016

Metrobus returns to normal service; rail service returns to normal frequencies Friday

Metrobus has resumed normal service on 98 percent of routes as of 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Snow detours remain in effect on only six of Metro's more than 300 routes.  Some buses may experience delays or isolated, temporary detours due to local road conditions and post-blizzard traffic. Metro continues to encourage bus customers to allow additional travel time and to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive route-specific service updates via email or text message.

Metrorail will return to regular rush-hour frequencies on all lines starting Friday morning. Blue Line trains will run every 12 minutes with Rush+ Yellow trains in service. Most trains will operate with 6 cars due to reduced railcar availability following the blizzard. As a result, trains may be more crowded than usual.
