Major Metrobus changes rollout begin Sunday

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Metrobus service will change Sunday, June 29, as the system's 'Better Bus Network' is said to offer enhanced service, with roughly five percent fewer stops to improve speed and reliability. But mixed reviews from those who rely on Metrobus the most to get around the DMV. 'I hope I wake up on time to make it to work on time, and the buses aren't late,' said Monique Smith as she waited for her bus at the Fort Totten Metro Station. Metrobus riders prepare for new route changes, names starting Sunday She rides the buses daily. 'Change comes, and you just go with… the flow. I'm used to it,' Smith said. Metrobus operator, WMATA, calls the revised system the biggest redesign in its history. More than 500 underused or dangerous stops will be eliminated, and some new routes added. Every stop will also be renamed with a new number and letter, like 'D' for downtown 'C' for cross town. 'I don't really like it,' said Metro passenger Joan Garriel. His concern is not just passengers getting confused by the new routes. He's also upset about the eliminated bus stops—including his. 'I had to walk up a while to get to the next bus stop,' Garriel said. Metrobus says staff will be on hand for the next week to answer any questions from riders Fares will not increase when the revised service goes into effect. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
