5 Days Until the Metrobus Redesign Rolls Into Effect

We're in the final stretch before Metrobus as we know it is transformed with new names for all routes, new destinations for some routes, and some consolidated stops, starting on Sunday, June 29.

Do you know the name of your new routes?

Try these tips from WMATA:

1. Check out the new bus network route and system maps on the Better Bus website
2. Look out for updated signs at your local bus stops to see what your new route is called

What about ART buses?

Arlington's ART bus service and stops will not change as part of WMATA's redesign. So if your usual bus is green and white, like ART 45, your route and stops will stay the same.
