Documents released Monday show Metro is considering splitting the Silver Line in two east of Stadium Armory sending some Yellow Line trains to Greenbelt One proposal Metro is exploring is to send half of all Silver Line trains to New Carrollton instead of ending all of them at downtown Largo Metro said by adding some Silver Line service in addition to the Orange Line service that already serves New Carrollton riders on the section of the Orange Line east of Stadium-Armory would see trains arrive every 6-8 minutes instead of every 10-12 minutes The possible change would also allow riders in that area to go straight to places like Dulles Airport and Tysons without transferring trains on the portion of the Blue/Silver lines east of Stadium-Armory Trains would only arrive every 6-8 minutes instead of every five to six minutes as is the case now Another proposal Metro is exploring is to once again run some Yellow Line trains to Greenbelt Yellow Line trains have a “turnback” at Mt Vernon Square and don’t run any further north Metro is considering running half of all Yellow trains to Greenbelt and continuing to end service for the other half at Mt All Yellow Line trains used to go to Greenbelt Metro will also explore increasing service on the Red Line by adding what it calls “super peak” service during the busiest part of peak hours “Super peak” service would involve wait times of four minutes between trains on the Red Line instead of five minutes and would involve a larger percentage of eight-car trains instead of six Metro said it will also consider adding a “super peak” service on a section of the Silver Line between Wiehle-Reston East and Stadium-Armory The service would only go one direction; in the morning extra trains added for “super peak” service would run eastbound and their last stop would be at Stadium-Armory while in the afternoon “super peak” would run westbound and end at Wiehle-Reston The Metro documents released Monday indicate Metro is exploring these ideas as part of an effort to make the best use of the resources it has Metro is hoping to help relieve overcrowding and decrease travel times by making changes during the busiest times and in the busiest areas of the rail system “These are concepts we are analyzing in preparation for the [WMATA] General Manager’s budget proposal next month,” Metro spokesperson Tierra Hill wrote in an email to 7News Monday Metro’s board of directors is scheduled to meet Thursday and talk about the possible changes although Metro said its long-term budget still looks dire new documents released Monday show that in the short term One reason --- rail riders are paying more often instead of evading the fare Although rail ridership is up just 7% versus a year ago the amount of money Metro is collecting from rail riders is up 33% a fare hike is also partially the reason for that increase in revenue on Metrobuses it’s the opposite story: ridership is up 12% but revenue is only up 6% as many riders continue to fare evade PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MD — A man found dead during a welfare check in a Riverdale apartment building stairwell on Friday has been identified as 58-year-old

and buns, with Oh’s favorite being its drunken noodles, a bowl of pan-fried rice noodles with vegetables, peanuts and spicy grilled chicken, and a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce. When it comes to the Instagrammable animal-inspired steamed buns, customers can expect two in an order and a total of seven fillings. Each flavor, with both savory and sweet varieties, have a unique design featuring an animal character - typically hinting at what’s inside. A steamed bun made to look like a chicken is dubbed the “Hangry Chickie,” for instance. The bun is filled with crunchy, pan-fried spicy chicken and mozzarella cheese. It, along with the Nutella-filled Bunny Bun, are some of the most popular among customers. Oh’s favorite is the Unicorn Bun, a dessert bun filled with ube, or purple yam. For those seeking to try more than one flavor, there are to-go party bun boxes. The new Carrollton spot features masala creamy noodles, which is exclusive to this location of Harumama.
