Morgan Boulevard (WMATA Station)
Morgan Boulevard is an island platformed Washington Metro station in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The station was opened on December 18, 2004, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Providing service for the Blue Line, the station is located on Garrett Morgan Boulevard, less than a mile from FedEx Field, the home of the Washington Redskins. It is about a 15-minute walk to the stadium from the station. This is one of the few stations not served by Metrobus. The Prince George's County bus system, called simply TheBus, serves this station. The platform at this station is wider than others and the station features double the number of faregates of similar stations because of the large volumes of passengers using it before and after football games. For commuters, there is a day care facility at the station.
As of 2011, the Morgan Boulevard station has the second-lowest average weekday ridership of the entire system, ahead of only Cheverly.
