The Washington DC Metro runs on the following schedule:
- Monday to Thursday: 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight)
- Friday: 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM (early Saturday morning)
- Saturday: 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM (early Sunday morning)
- Sunday: 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight)
On Fridays and Saturdays, the metro offers extended late-night service until 2:00 AM, making it convenient for nightlife and late events. On Sundays, the service starts later and ends at midnight, with reduced frequency. The Metrobus service, which complements the Metro rail, runs longer hours and has some 24/7 routes in the city for late-night travel needs. So generally, the metro runs late until 12 to 2 AM, depending on the day of the week, with the latest service on Fridays and Saturdays.
