Metro spending about $6m for Rush+ service change

Published May 14, 2012 4:00am ET



The campaign is on. Metro is trying to educate riders about its new plan to start rerouting some Blue Line trains onto the Yellow Line beginning June 18, affecting service on the Orange, Yellow and Green lines, too.

Riders may have noticed signs touting what the agency has dubbed “Rush+” with round stickers that look like a plus sign or the symbol for a transfer station with different color lines. A dozen train cars have been decked out in signs. The agency has made videos and an interactive map and soon will deploy “street teams” that will hand out information as the agency says it is trying to create “buzz.”
