We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out a story from this morning’s Examiner which quotes Metro Assistant General Manager Gerald Francis saying the agency is considering spacing out bus stops on many Metrobus lines in order to improve bus service. Perhaps Francis and company have been reading DCist comment threads? The too-frequent spacing of bus stops, which occur at nearly every block on some lines, has been a rallying cry for District residents for years.

Of course, WMATA is still just considering such action, and as we know, that means a plan must first be drafted and then debated for months and months and months before you could end up seeing stops on your route moved. Still, since we already know where most of you stand on this issue, we know you’ll want to suggest which lines ought to be at the top of the list in the comments. After all, we’re starting to suspect Metro officials might actually be reading them.
