Capitol Hill Station Overview

Capitol Hill is served by the 1 Line. Trains run every 8 minutes during peak hours and every 10-15 minutes during off-peak times and weekends. Service starts around 5:00 AM (6:00 AM on Sundays) and runs until approximately midnight. The station has platforms for both directions of travel, and real-time arrival signs are posted on the platform.

When Should You Leave?

That depends on how far you are from the stop. A common mistake is checking the arrival time but not accounting for your walk. If Capitol Hill is a 5-minute walk from your home and the next light rail is 7 minutes away, you need to leave now — not in 2 minutes. Real-time arrival displays help by giving you a constant, glanceable countdown so you can time your departure without repeatedly checking an app.
