WTOP radio, 9/4:
Some transit changes announced for papal visit to D.C.
SNIP
The Office of Personnel Management is encouraging federal workers to telework during the pope’s visit.
Metro said it is preparing for the pope’s D.C. visit like it would prepare for a presidential inauguration. To accommodate extra riders, the agency plans to run nearly rush hour service much of the time Pope Francis is in the District.
MARC trains will run on a regular weekday schedule. Virginia Railway Express trains will run normal rail service while the pope is in D.C. VRE trains generally run inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon.
