Metro is boosting weekend train service for Cherry Blossom season.
The increase in service starts March 19 and runs until April 17.
Metrorail said it will will operate as many trains as possible, matching weekday service levels – every 10 minutes on the Red Line and 20 minutes on all other lines. In Downtown, where most stations are served by multiple lines, trains will arrive every 6-10 minutes.
“Cherry Blossom season is one of the biggest attractions of the year and Metrorail is stepping up service to better serve customers,” Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld said in a statement. “Metro is one of the best ways to get around, and with a $2 flat fare for any one-way trip on weekends it’s even more affordable.”
