The Post's Dr. Gridlock has
a blog entry today about the
Maryland Transit Administration's plans for how MTA commuter buses will be diverted during the two-month shutdown of the
Frederick Douglass/South Capitol Street Bridge that begins on July 6. Quoting: "MTA says that after listening to passengers, it has decided to bring some of its routes into the Branch Avenue and Suitland Metrorail stations for those who wish to transfer to the subway, but continue in and out of dowtown Washington for the other riders willing to tough it out through the congestion. (The buses will be stuck in the same congestion as the cars.)" See the entry for specifics on each bus route. Metro's bus route changes
were announced a few weeks ago. (And thanks for the link, Dr. G!)
