Holy, train ride! On June 18, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) will roll out Rush+, a new service plan that adds more trains during peak hours and provides faster access to Downtown DC. The goal: to serve more customers, reduce crowding, offer more transfer-free destinations and begin preparing for the future Dulles Corridor Metroline Project, dubbed the Silver Line. In a nutshell, Rush+ will improve service for nearly 110,000 customers on the Green, Yellow, Blue and Orange Lines on Monday through Friday, from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. All told, 21 Metrorail stations will get more frequent service with six additional trains every hour of rush hour. A new map reflecting the changes will be placed throughout the system. View the map and a video which provides more details about Rush+.
