The WMATA is implementing a comprehensive redesign of the DC bus system called "Better Bus," effective June 29. Every bus route is being renamed for clarity, using a consistent naming convention based on the area served. The project also consolidates stops by eliminating 527 low-ridership stops to ensure 99% of residents remain close to service areas. Additionally, buses are being scheduled to run more frequently, particularly during busy hours, aiming to improve dependability and reduce overall travel time for passengers.
"Better Bus brings more consistent naming conventions with every bus route renamed according to the area they serve, introducing clarity and organization to the system."
"The project aims to streamline services by eliminating 527 bus stops, while ensuring that 99 percent of residents and jobs remain within a quarter-mile of a bus stop."
