The long-awaited short first stretch of the new D.C. Streetcar system will open to passengers Saturday, Feb. 27, just after 10 a.m.
D.C. has not yet figured out how fares will be collected on the system. Eventually, the D.C. Department of Transportation does plan to charge riders.
Those plans would include dedicated lanes for the streetcar in many stretches, something the current line does not have.
Bowser’s office says the opening ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. on Feb. 27 on 13th Street, NE between H Street, NE and Wylie Street, NE (intersection of 13th/H).
- Monday-Thursday: 6:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m.
- Friday: 6 a.m. – 2 a.m.
- Saturday: 8 a.m. – 2 a.m.
- Holidays: 8 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- No Sunday service
