WASHINGTON, D.C. Metro wont be taking any chances when the year 2000 rolls around. Metro trains will stop at platforms at 11:55 p.m. on New Years Eve and open their doors.

Can't find the story elsewhere yet (I checked the Washington Times, so I'm not sure how long they'll stay stopped.

According to AM 1500, DeeCee Metro-rail will only be stopped for about 10 minutes (just the rollover). The trains will be running until 3:00 AM Jan 1st, rather than than 1:00 AM.This assumes there will be electricity after the rollover.
