Emergency Cab Fares expire in D.C. 

(Washington, DC) – The Chairman of the DC Taxicab Commission (DCTC) has determined that the authorization for District taxicabs to charge the Snow Emergency Fare will be allowed to expire.

The Snow Emergency Fare will not extend beyond Monday, January 25 at 9:30 am.

No Transport DC service is available to align with the WMATA decision to continue the suspension of MetroAccess through Monday January 25. Transport DC customers may seek feedback about service or other issues by contacting karl.muhammad2@dc.gov or Thedford.collins@dc.gov.

For-hire vehicle operators are advised to monitor the DCTC web site to be aware of updates or changes. Riders who encounter service problems are advised to contact DCTC at 855.484.4966 or DCTC3@dc.gov and provide a brief message
describing the issue. 

All the snow, coupled with the cold, is bad news for water pipes. WTOP's Rich Johnson with the latest.

WASHINGTON — Metro will restore above ground rail service on the Red Line between Union Station and Glenmont, between Ballston and New Carrollton on the Orange Line and between Fort Totten and Branch Avenue on the Green Line as of 11 a.m. Monday.

All D.C. stations, except Benning Road, will reopen at 11 a.m.

Limited service on Metrorail resumed at 7 a.m. The Orange Line started running between Eastern Market and Ballston; the Red Line, between Medical Center and Union Station; and the Green line, between Fort Totten and Anacostia, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said Monday morning.

Metrobus is even more limited, Stessel says. From noon to 5 p.m., buses will run what Stessel calls “lifeline service” on 22 of the most important corridors in the region.

Buses will leave every half-hour from the ends of the lines if conditions allow, but there will be no departures after 5 p.m.

WTOP's Kate Ryan: Maybe you've seen that the main roads are down to bare pavement, but DC's Mayor says say the after-Blizzard clean up is a long way from over.

Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld joined WTOP on Skype and said crews are working to clear the rails after plowing and scraping them during the storm.
