Labor Day Weekend Metro Schedule 2020: What To Expect

BETHESDA, MD — Five months after COVID-19 broke out in the District, Metro has restored service to pre-pandemic levels.

Rail and bus service changes took effect on Aug. 16 and 23, respectively. And since then, ridership levels have increased by thousands, weekday rail trips have more than doubled, and wait times have reduced dramatically, according to Metro.

Despite a return to pre-pandemic service levels, Metro says it will continue to enforce social distancing and mask wearing policies, as well as frequently clean its fleet of buses, trains, and transit vehicles.

If you are taking the Metro this holiday weekend, here's what to expect:
