Good riding to you: Metro announces hours for Christmas — and the day after

Christmas is Sunday, so it’s maybe not surprising that Metro announced on Tuesday that buses and trains will run on a Sunday schedule. But they’ll be on that schedule Monday, Dec. 26, as well, Metro said.

That means the trains will run from 7 a.m. to midnight both days, Metro said, with the Green Line running every eight minutes; the Red Line running every 10 minutes, and the Blue, Orange and Silver lines running every 15 minutes. Parking at Metro parking garages and lots will be free.



The train fares will be $2 all day Sunday, while off-peak fares will be in effect all day Monday.

Buses will run on a Sunday schedule both days for the usual $2 fare. You can check all the timetables on Metro’s site.

MetroAccess will still run, but recurring “subscription trips” are canceled. If you need to use the service on Sunday or Monday, call them at 301-562-5360 (TTY 301-588-7535) or go online.

Washington Manassas Airport cleared to offer commercial airline flights

Washington Manassas Airport, formerly known as Manassas Regional Airport, has taken a big step toward its goal of offering passenger service. The airport, which is owned by the city of Manassas, Virginia, received its FAA Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate, a designation required before commercial airlines can begin service. During a ceremony Monday, FAA Associate Administrator Dan Edwards presented a framed version of the certificate to airport leaders.  Edwards said it's "extremely rare" for an existing airport that caters to private flights to clear this hurdle.
