Riders outside the Braddock Road station board a shuttle to Crystal City on the first day of the summer-long shutdown of six Metro stations. (Kery Murakami/Kery Murakami/Express)Metro’s 15-week shutdown of six Yellow and Blue line stations began in earnest Tuesday morning, with reports of varying degrees of pain. But the shuttle ride to Crystal City took an hour. Around 8 a.m. outside the closed Braddock Road station, free shuttle buses came every five minutes or so, as Metro promised. Bradley Rawls stood in the same line and waited 20 minutes, trying to be forgiving of Metro.
