The Washington Business Journal is reporting that Friendship Heights is the least busy station stop of the top 25 busiest stops on the Metro for a second straight year.

According to WBJ, the Friendship Heights station May average for weekday riders came to a total of 9,804.

The interesting thing about Friendship Heights being the last on the list is that it sits on the red line, a line that also hosts Union Station, Metro Center, Gallery Place- Chinatown, and Farragut North, which rank as the first, second, third, and fourth busiest stations respectively.
