DeMorning Links: Nats and Metro strike a daily deal Transit-using Nats fans will have a guaranteed ride home. (Nikki Kahn - PHOTO BY NIKKI KAHN/THE WASHINGTON POST) The trains will run after late Nationals games - no thanks to team owner Ted Lerner or Major League Baseball, but, thankfully, also no thanks to city taxpayers. Instead LivingSocial is stepping in to bail the Nats out, earning massive amounts of positive publicity and goodwill for a low, low price. The Post's Mark Berman and Lori Aratani report: "Metro refunds as much of the [$29,500] deposit as the transit agency takes in in fares during the extended service. And Metro's fare increase, which went into effect in July, makes it even easier for event organizers to recoup their deposit. ... Now, the third party needs only 5,504 fans to ride Metro ... to recoup the deposit. The Verizon Center ended up paying less than $3,000 for two nights of extended service after this week's Madonna shows.
