Metro announced today they’ll have extended service on New Year’s Eve, opening at 5 a.m. like a regular weekday and staying open until 2 a.m. For the walk-of-shamers, stations open again at 7 a.m. and close at 2 a.m., running on a modified Sunday schedule since ridership is usually pretty low on New Year’s Day.
The Circulator will also run extended service on two of its lines. On Dec 31, the Georgetown-Union Station route will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.., while the Woodley Park-Adams Morgan-McPherson Square route will run even longer, 7 a.m. to 3 a.m.
