Metro: Take transit to Redskins game

Metro is adding trains and staff to help fans attending Sunday’s Washington Redskins game — and other home games this season — take the Blue Line to FedEx Field.

Fans can take Metrorail to the Morgan Boulevard station, which is about a mile from FedEx Field for Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against the St. Louis Rams.

Fans also can park in Metro’s Largo or Morgan Boulevard Metrorail parking garages for $25 if they have a plastic SmarTrip card. Transit riders who park there to use the train system, instead of going to the game, will not have to pay the fee when they use their SmarTrip cards that day, said Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel. All other stations have free parking.

The transit system is not offering any shuttle bus service from other stations, as it has done in the past. The agency stopped offering the shuttles last year after a federal ruling changed the rules for charter buses.
