Metro will run free Metro shuttle buses to accomodate customers between Fort Totten and Union Station with stops at the Brookland/CUA and Rhode Island Avenue Metrorail stations:

• Customers who normally board at the Brookland station will need to take a free Metro shuttle bus from the station to either Union Station or Fort Totten, depending on their direction of travel.
