There’s already free WiFi at Metro Center, Gallery Place, L’Enfant Plaza, Union Station, Judiciary Square, and Archives stations.

If you don’t have Verizon, it might still be a while before you get full cell phone coverage throughout the Metro system.

Major track work will take place along a segment of the Red Line this weekend, so if you happen to live near any station from Rhode Island Avenue to Glenmont, you might want to have alternative means of transportation.

Believe it or not, the WMATA Board of Directors was still talking about station names this morning. But after more than two hours of chatter at a lengthy committee session, it appears as if they have finally settled on a few.

As we’ve recently reported, Capital Bikeshare is expanding, with new stations planned for the District and Arlington. (Alexandria is even getting in on the act!) And the locations of the new stations are to be picked by a select group: everyone.

Later this week, the WMATA Board of Directors is scheduled to consider a revised version of designer Lance Wyman’s iconic Metrorail map, which includes several potential changes to station names around the system.

Greater Greater Washington writes that the D.C. Department of Transportation has asked Metro to change the names of four Metro stations within city limits.

It appears as if the National Park Service has backtracked on previous statements that the installation of a Capital Bikeshare station located on the National Mall would “destroy the nature” of America’s backyard.

UPDATE (2:10 p.m.): Residual delays around the station are now beginning to clear, as service returns to normal.

WMATA has removed several benches from the Red Line platform inside the Gallery Place-Chinatown station in order to reduce congestion during peak travel times.
