Metrorail will open two hours early – at 5 a.m., operate enhanced service on all lines, suspend track work and offer free parking at all stations as part of Metro’s effort to accommodate customers attending the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial dedication on Sunday, Aug. 28.
“We are looking forward to welcoming thousands of guests aboard Metro for this historic event,” said Richard Sarles, Metro General Manager and Chief Executive Officer.
To avoid lines, customers are strongly encouraged to purchase a farecard or one-day pass prior to traveling. If using SmarTrip®, be sure there is sufficient value on the card to complete your round trip.
For a limited time, customers can purchase a special commemorative one-day pass featuring an image of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. The $9 pass allows for unlimited travel on the day it is used (subject to the same conditions as a standard Metro one-day pass). Customers can purchase the commemorative pass online, at Metro sales offices and regional transit stores.
