Believe it or not, we’ll all be reverting back to standard time this weekend, eschewing sunlight at the end of the day in exchange for no longer waking up in the dark. (For example, the sunset on Sunday is scheduled for 5:04 p.m.) But if we can focus on a more immediate concern for one moment: what’s going to happen with Metro service on early Sunday morning, when the clocks officially swing back an hour?

“When we fall back, customers gain an extra hour of service,” said Metro spokesperson Dan Stessel. “We close at 3 a.m., but customers benefit from the extra hour.”

So, there you have it folks, you’ve also got an extra hour to hop on the Metro to get yourself home in plenty of time to catch the first pre-7 a.m. sunrise in several months. Since D.C. residents also earn an extra hour of imbibing time at local bars, we have a feeling more than a few of you will be relieved that the Metro will be running when you decide to settle up.
