   Passengers riding Metrobus will only be allowed to board through the rear doors   
   starting Tuesday, according to an internal WMATA memo obtained by the   
   Washington Post.   
      
   So that means you won't have to tap your SmarTrip card or pay cash. WMATA hopes   
   that will keep its bus drivers socially-distant from passengers.   
      
   "Essentially, bus travel will be free during that time," Metro General Manager   
   Paul Wiedefeld wrote to employees.
