>> In case you’ve been living under a rock, today is opening day for the city’s new baseball team, the Washington Nationals. And WMATA says it’s ready to handle the crowds on metrorail. Rush-hour service will start at 3 p.m. and will run until the first pitch a little after 7 p.m. Expect the Blue and Orange lines to be packed with fans heading to the Stadium-Armory station. When the game concludes, 14 six-car strains will be waiting to shuttle fans home.
And if you’re new to metorail and confused as how to navigate your way to the Stadium-Armory station, WMATA will deploy transit ambassadors to terminal commuter stations wearing special t-shirts.
