It’s official: Metrorail will hold the doors for the Capitals home game Tuesday night.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) announced it will run trains for an extra hour on Tuesday night to ferry fans home from the late night Capitals vs. Lightning game. Exelon, the parent company of D.C.’s utility provider Pepco, is footing the $100,000 bill.
“We are pleased to provide rail service so all of the fans can support the Caps in the playoffs,” Metro’s General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said in a statement on Monday. “Thanks to Exelon, we can offer a train ride home when the game ends, even if that means overtime.
