We're back with more Better Bus updates!On June

We're back with more Better Bus updates!On June 29, Metro launches its new bus network and EVERY bus route will get a new name. This Metro graphic shows an example of what the new bus signs look like and what each part of the sign refers to.Routes will begin with a letter to indicate the area served:
🚍 "A" for Arlington/Alexandria
🚍 "C (crosstown) or "D" (downtown) for DC
🚍 "F" for Fairfax City, Fairfax County, and Falls Church
🚍 "M" for Montgomery County
🚍 "P" for Prince George's County
🚍 Limited-stop Routes are indicated by an "X" at the end of their namesAs part of the changes to this new bus network, some bus routes will run at different times or cover new areas to accommodate the schedules of today's bus customers. And about 5% of stops will be removed to speed up service, but most will remain the same.#wmata #transportationservices #washingtondc #olderadults
