WASHINGTON - Some Metro riders were charged too much for their Monday morning
ride, and the reason has to do with the start of Daylight Saving Time.
Metro had to "spring forward" on Sunday just like everyone else, but an
automatic software update meant to change the clocks throughout the Metro system was
not received at some fare-gates.
As a result,
Metro's Dan Stessel
said some riders who used the system between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. Monday
were charged peak fares when they should have paid off-peak. The
problem has since been fixed, and Stessel says affected riders don't
have to do anything to get refunds.
