Reply to comment by 1800TurdFerguson in METRO should make an exception and run on regular weekday hours during marathons. by Knock_turnal

Does this actually happen? I’ve never heard of Metro opening early or closing late as subsidized by a private entity. The link below implies that they stay open late for professional sports games at the expense of WMATA.

I don’t know if things have changed, but Metro used to charge $100K per hour to extend service for special events. Of course, that shitstain Mark Lerner didn’t want to come out of pocket to pay it.

They do it for the Cherry Blossom most years. 2 April this year, not sure if Metro will be open, should really check that...
