Metrorail will close at 9 p.m. every day starting Monday, as the Washington area’s transit service further reduces hours as it deals with fewer riders as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Metrorail will open at 5 a.m. weekdays and at 8 a.m. on weekends.
“Metro’s ridership drop-off has been particularly acute after 9 p.m,” the transit agency said. “The shorter service hours will allow frontline transit workers — who have been serving the public without interruption — to spend more time with their families, all while reducing their exposure to the public.”
