The DC Metro will remain open though there will be an added police presence in response to the two bombs that reportedly went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. 

Metro spokesman Dan Stessel told TPM there were “no closures or service changes” planned and that there was “no specific of credible threat” to DC’s transit system. 

“We have increased the number of police officers on duty through this evening’s rush hour,” Stessel said. 

All of the police officers who were scheduled to work the day shift in the Metro will be staying on duty through rush hour
