That’s Councilmember Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) in the video, taking the bus. This is part of Wells’ new Rediscover the Bus campaign, aiming to look at other systems as models to improve service and thus attract new riders.

The Metrobus system cannot simply be a commuter route for getting people in and out of the city for their workday – it should provide reliable and attractive alternatives to move about our neighborhoods, support our local small businesses, and connect us to all the amenities throughout the city.

If you have feedback, ideas or constructive criticism of Metrobus service, you can attend Wells’ first Listening Tour this Saturday at 11 a.m. in Ward 7, Department of Employment Services offices, 4058 Minnesota Avenue, NE in the 5th Floor Conference.
