Metro Expands Train Service to Alleviate Crowding and Meet Increased Demand
TL;DR Summary
Metro will launch its final planned service increase on Monday, offering the most train service in its history. The increase includes shorter wait times between trains on the Red, Blue, Silver, Green, and Yellow lines during peak travel times. This marks the 11th service increase since last summer as Metro rebounds from the pandemic. While bus ridership is approaching pre-pandemic levels, rail ridership remains about 45% lower than in 2019. Future service increases will be based on ridership demand, and Metro will monitor trends to assess the need for adjustments.
