Some pretty significant unannounced delays on the Red Line this morning, where trains are scheduled to be running every 12 minutes but are running closer to every ~18 minutes instead. #wmata During this morning's "rush hour," Red Line trains arrived every ~17 minutes on average.

Per #WMATA's MetroAlert issued 10 days ago, "trains will operate approximately every 12 minutes." No MetroAlerts have been issued for the Red Line so far today to explain these new delays.

Today, we'll be digging into the real-time Metrobus crowding data we receive from #WMATA to determine which bus routes, if any, have seen additional crowding so far this week, as it'd presumably be due to Metrorail's service adjustments that started on Monday. Last Wednesday, 1,547 scheduled visits were made by Metrobus vehicles that were already "full" by #WMATA's social distancing standards; another 21,205 were crowded, but not full.

Yesterday, these same figures were 7,229 (367% higher) and 75,921 (258% higher), respectively.

There have been 9 significant service gaps across all lines so far this morning—most of them on the Red Line, where trains are scheduled to be running every ~16 minutes per #WMATA, but our data shows there have been gaps of up to 40 minutes at times. Image What do we consider a significant service gap?

Back-to-back train departure times from Metro Center (for the RD/OR/SV/BL lines) or Gallery Place (for the GR/YL lines) that are at least 1.5x scheduled headways (24+ minutes for RD; 45+ minutes for all other lines). 🤓 #wmata

We're actively working on validating exactly how many trips didn't operate at 30-minute headways so far today, as well as how frequently this pattern is occurring and for which lines and directions of travel. #wmata So far today, across all Metrorail lines, about 10% of trips have arrived at least 15 minutes later than advertised, i.e. at least 45 minutes after the train in front of them, not 30. #wmata

"While the majority of Metro buses operated as scheduled last week, some customers experienced longer, pandemic-related wait times due to fewer buses operating than expected."

We observed ~1k fewer scheduled trips last week than the week prior. #wmata

aries.dcmetrohero.com/trends?systemN… #WMATA does not call out exactly which Metrobus routes are most affected here, but the P12, T18, and F4 are the top 3 bus routes with the most missing trips last week compared to the week of August 30th; all of those routes are serviced by the agency's Landover bus division.
