Beyoncé spent $ 100,000 (more than 2.37 billion) to extend the running hours of the subway, helping fans go home after attending the “Renaissance” concert.

According to DailyMail , Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour concert at the FedExField stadium had to be postponed for nearly two hours due to inclement weather, on August 6.

Due to a late start, Beyoncé’s team worked with the Washington Metropolitan Transportation Authority (WMATA) to extend service by an hour, allowing fans to go home after the show.

Accordingly, after the end of the show, WMATA opened one entrance at the Morgan Avenue station – the closest to the show venue – and the exits of 98 other stations. This agency rescheduled the departure time at Morgan Boulevard station to 1:04 a.m. the next day, instead of 11:34 p.m. the previous night.
