After scaling back its train and bus services in March to limit the spread of COVID-19, Metro is set to expand its hours again by August, WJLA reported Monday.
Starting Aug. 16, Metrorail stations, which have been closing daily at 9 p.m., will be open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays, and peak times will return with trains coming every 8 minutes, WJLA reported. Bus services will also return on Aug. 23, with buses running from 4 a.m. to midnight, according to WJLA.
Metro officials said they expect the schedule to remain in place until December, WJLA reported.
