Metro adjusting six D.C., Maryland bus routes starting Sunday

Effective Sunday, Sept. 8, Metro is making service adjustments on six Metrobus routes in D.C. and Maryland: the F6, F8, G14, R2, R12, and T14.

These changes will improve on-time performance, make departure times more convenient for students, and reflect a long-term detour in Langley Park associated with Purple Line construction.

Real-time bus information and trip planning tools have been updated to reflect the changes after Sept. 8. Customers may go to the timetables or use Metro’s Trip Planner for updated schedule information.

Metro's customer service team can also assist customers with trip planning by phone at 202-637-7000 or online.
