Metro Again Suspends Service Early Due To DC Curfew: June 2

WASHINGTON, DC — Metro will once again be suspending rail and bus service early due to a 7 p.m. curfew in Washington, D.C.

Trains will stop running one hour early, at 8 p.m.; and buses will stop running two hours early, at 9 p.m.

Here's everything you need to know:

TRAINS

• Last trains will depart downtown transfer stations at 8 p.m.
• Trains heading downtown will stop running before 8 p.m.
• Alternative travel options will not be provided

METROBUS

• Service will be suspended at 9 p.m.
• Buses already running at 9 p.m. will complete their routes before going out of service

METROACCESS

• MetroAccess won't begin new trips from customers' residences after 9 p.m.

Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a 7 p.m. curfew Monday and Tuesday, following chaotic protests Sunday night that resulted in significant damage to areas of downtown Washington, D.C. Members of the media and essential workers are exempt from the curfew.

Protests erupted across the country after a video surfaced this week that showed George Floyd, a Minnesota black man in handcuffs, pleading for air as a white cop knelt on his neck. In the now-viral video, Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin continued to press his knee down on Floyd's neck — even after he appeared to lose consciousness.
