Commuters hoping to avoid icy roads were met with huge crowds and delays on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines this morning.
A disabled train outside Stadium-Armory at around 8:00 a.m. was when the problems began, resulting in single-tracking on all three lines. According to several commuters on Twitter, a Blue Line train passed Arlington Cemetery and turned around. Some trains were offloaded, forcing passengers back out into frigid weather at outside platforms.
Uber in Arlington was instituting surge pricing at four times the regular rate at one point.
WMATA reported that the train was clear at 8:53 a.m., but residual delays persisted well after 9:00 a.m.
