Metrorail riders should prepare for service adjustments on four lines this weekend due to maintenance work. The Red Line will operate every 12 to 15 minutes. And the Orange, Silver, and Blue Lines, which are being impacted by Safetrack’s last surge of the year, will operate every 20 minutes.
“The first two weeks of this surge will be the worst that anything most of our riders have experienced so far since we started SafeTrack,” Metro’s chief operating officer, Joseph Leader, said last week.
