NEW: Metro rolls out “take one” pre-wrapped face masks at stations for riders. The transit agency says it received about 1 million masks from the federal government @nbcwashington #wmata

DC’s @WMATA system is getting over $876M, a big boost to stay open & operating! The federal funds will keep workers paid & buses & trains running on a limited schedule as they are needed for essential trips. Good news for those who rely on transit! Congrats to @MayorBowser & all!

If anybody knows Evan I left his card at the DuPont Metro manger kiosk. No manger was around though. @unsuckdcmetro @wmata

Nice job, #DMV! You're staying home, listening to officials, limiting travel to *essential only.* How do we know? Yesterday's ridership on Metrorail=140K 😳(that's 79% drop vs 663K same Tues last year). Normally clear 140K by 8:30am. Keep it going! By not going #wmata #covid19

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear gloves. It's Transit Worker Appreciation Day, and it means even more this year. Today, tonight and in the challenging days ahead, our frontline colleagues will strive to keep Metro running for those who need it. We salute them tonight. #wmata

If you see a Girl Scout totebag with two packages in it on a southbound Redline train, I would appreciate the safe return of my bio lab manual and my brother’s birthday gift 🙏 @PoPville

@WMATA-landia: If you lost a pair of black wire prescription eye glasses around lunch time @ Metro Center, they're with the station mgr @ 12th & F exit/nr Metro gift store.

This marks the first time I’m walking from Virginia to DC as part of my commute as the @wmata infrastructure continues to deteriorate below the standards of the third world.

@wmata red line, car #6140 en route to Glenmont, near the end closest to the front of the train. Someone left a royal mess in here... :-( Pulling into Glenmont now.

Maryland provides more to Metro than any other jurisdiction & we have a right to demand transparency & accountability. Unbelievably, WMATA continues to demand massive amounts of funding while simultaneously refusing to provide valid, detailed financial accounts. Enough is enough.

Free customer Wi-Fi is now available at Brookland, Dunn Loring and Cheverly Metrorail stations. With only 15 stations remaining, we are on track to meet our goal of having free Wi-Fi at all 91 stations by the end of June. #wmata

Want to shout out @wmata’s Braddock Road station manager for being so nice and helping me out today when the SmarTrip card I’ve had since 2006 or before finally bit it! Thank you so much, sir!

#BreakingNews @Fox5DC: Metro says the WMATA Board has requested their Ethics Officer open a review of Chairman Jack Evans. FOIA’d emails in the Washington Post, show Evans solicited job offers from law firms, citing his access to DC government using government email accounts.

This evening’s disruption was the result of a foreign object (a small piece of snow fencing) coming in contact with 3rd rail, causing smoke. We suspended service until we understood the cause and resolved the issue. (1/2) #wmata
