Metrobus service to change on June 27, 2004

District of Columbia | Maryland | Virginia

Metrobus service will change on Sunday, June 27, 2004. Bus schedules will change on many routes throughout the region.

In addition to the schedule adjustments, D1 buses will begin at Ivy City and D5 buses will run more frequently in the mornings. In Maryland and Virginia, additional late night buses will be scheduled on some routes. On other routes, we’re adding buses to alleviate overcrowding.

These service changes are described in this brochure, and new timetables will appear in take-one racks soon. For more information, phone customer service at 202/637-7000 (TTY 202/638-3780).
