Note: Earlier opening times and later closing times go into effect at times of special events. Check this Web site in advance of major events for details. When traveling late at night, be sure to check the scheduled departure time for the last train. At many stations, the last train departs before system closing time so it is important that you allow enough time to enter the system and board the train. Last train departure times are posted at each station kiosk. Metro holiday schedule2004
