Crowded roads make for slower and more crowded buses, and Metro’s financial woes might make some solutions out of reach.

Metro is planning on changing bus route names for the first time in 50 years. The new naming system would be part of a larger initiative by Metro to redesign its network.

Metro says it will run more trains than at any other point in time during its 47-year history.

The maps are what planners think the region deserves for bus service, but so far the full plan is not funded.

The map includes 100 bus routes with 20-minute frequency or better, a 24/7 bus network, and simpler, more direct routes.

D.C. would be the first jurisdiction in the country to automatically ticket vehicles blocking a bus stop.

Metro ceremonially broke ground to redevelop its Bladensburg bus garage. It’s part of a project that aims to modernize and replace bus facilities around the city that are 61, 87, and 117 years old.

WMATA has upgraded its technology to remove out-of-service buses from the real-time ETA website riders use to plan their trips.

Anyone boarding a bus at one of D.C.’s 10,000 bus stops could get on free instead of paying the $2 fare, even if their trip ends in Virginia or Maryland.

A bus operator shortage is limiting the quick return of bus service.
