Proposals for reduction in metro service to add more blue line trains

Catching up on news. A few articles mention that Metro will consider recommendations for service changes that would affect frequency of rush hour service on several lines. According to WAMU, “Rush Plus service on the Yellow Line would be eliminated, and the number of rush hour trains on the Green and Yellow tracks would drop from 26 to 15 per hour in each direction, which may lead to crowding on those two lines north of downtown D.C. between Fort Totten and Mount Vernon Square stations.” Service on the orange, blue, and silver line trains would also be affected by the recommendations. Metro will survey riders and hold public hearings before approving any service changes, so stay tuned for opportunities for input.
