The summer construction on the Blue line is moving forward! Last weekend, our teams replaced ties and cable troughs and restored concrete under switch machines. This work keeps trains moving smoothly from track to track, helping customers reach their destinations on time.

Here’s a tip for using our new Tap. Ride. Go. payment option: hovering your Apple Watch or Google Watch above the reader while tapping your card can result in a double charge. Use the opposite hand from your watch when making a card payment to avoid this.

We know it’s been hot this summer! 🥵 If you’ve ever wondered how we help keep our Metrorail system cool, it’s thanks to our chillers – a cooling system that reduces temperatures to provide you with a more comfortable experience. Watch this video to learn more.

The design of the 8000-Series includes open gangways, digital displays, and more handholds! ADA compliance, improved seating, wider walkways, and multi-purpose areas are key.
