Blue Line trains will operate in two segments:
 - Between Franconia-Springfield and Mount Vernon Square (via the Yellow Line bridge) at regular weekend intervals.

Free shuttle bus service will operate between Pentagon and Rosslyn stations with an intermediate stop at Arlington Cemetery. Passengers using shuttle bus service should allow 20 minutes of additional travel time.

Customers traveling between Blue Line stations south of Pentagon and stations east of L'Enfant Plaza should transfer at L'Enfant Plaza for a faster trip without the need to use shuttle buses.
