Reply to comment by kt_m_smith in METRO should make an exception and run on regular weekday hours during marathons. by Knock_turnal

Yup. Catching an early weekend flight or landing late makes Metro a non-option.

This. Three years ago, I was staying at the Marriott Wardman Park for an event, but my bus pulled into Union Station three minutes after the last Red Line to Shady Grove left. Had I not remembered that the 96 bus also connected the two points, I would’ve had to spend money on an Uber/Lyft or a cab.

Just the other night we got into Dulles late and there was all this advertising " take metro!!" and I commented to my husband how stupid it was because it's wasn't even open.
