A Metrobus illustration with a sign stating, "Service Advisory B Y Free shuttles will run every 8-10 minutes from Pentagon City to the airport all 10 weekends (~20 min trip, depending on traffic)." The bus reads, "SHUTTLE" and "metrobus."

We’re also removing bus delay messaging from display screens at bus stops to allow customers to see when the next bus will arrive. Stay up to date on bus service impacts by downloading Metro Pulse, following @metrobusinfo.bsky.social, &/or signing up for Metro Alerts on our website. (2/2)

In response to feedback, we are updating the way we communicate bus delays related to operator availability. Instead of describing the cause, we will now focus on the estimated timing for resolution. For example, customers may see β€œexpect delays until 9:05 a.m.” (1/2)
