Metro Trains, Buses Run On Limited Weekend Schedule: Coronavirus

WASHINGTON, DC — Amid a growing coronavirus pandemic, Metro has shut down 19 of its 91 rail stations indefinitely to limit employees' exposure to the disease and to conserve cleaning supplies. The closures include the Archives-Penn Quarter, East Falls Church, and Arlington Cemetery stations. Click here for the full list.

Metro advises that its rail and bus systems only be used for essential trips. Translation: Unless you are a front-line health care worker or a person essential to the supply chain (i.e., grocery store employee, gas attendant, liquor store clerk), or have to access critical resources, don't take the Metro. And if you aren't feeling well, stay home. Contact your healthcare provider first and follow their guidance.
