Because rain and thunderstorms have led to delays at one of her concerts, US superstar Beyoncé has made the subways in the US capital Washington run an hour longer for 100,000 dollars (about 90,000 euros). This was announced by the metropolis's local transport network.

Beyoncé had given two concerts in a stadium near the capital at the weekend as part of her "Renaissance" world tour. On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris was also there with husband Doug Emhoff and thanked via the short message service Twitter for a "fun date night".

The concert on Sunday could only start about two hours late due to a storm. Due to funding from the tour organizers, all 98 stations of the mass transit network could then have remained open an hour longer than usual, until well after midnight, it said.
