The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) began Phase 4 of Bus Shelter Replacement Program work at Takoma Metro Station today, Monday, Nov. 2.
During this phase, Bus Bays H and G will be temporarily closed.
The following shelter adjustments will be in effect:
- Ride On Bus Routes 12 and 13 will bypass Bay H and use temporary Bay T1.
- Ride On Bus Routes 14 and 24 will bypass Bay G and use Bay C.
During construction:
- Some bus bays at Takoma Station will be temporarily closed in phases.
- Ride On, Metrobus, and other transit providers may operate from temporary or alternate bus bays.
- Temporary bus stops will be ADA-compliant but may not include shelters or benches while work is underway.
- Bus bay changes are scheduled to occur early Monday mornings (around 3 a.m.) to reduce impacts during the morning commute.
Clear signs are posted throughout the station to direct riders to the correct boarding locations, and buses will continue to serve all routes.
Riders are encouraged to:
- Allow a few extra minutes for travel through the station.
- Follow posted signage and staff directions.
- Visit wmata.com for service updates.
The County has implemented a free fare policy for all Ride On, Ride On extRa, Ride On Flex, and Flash buses. Metrobus still requires fare.
