Metro eyes more express busing as new route to improved service

The express bus route that Metro started last week along 16th Street marks what could be the future of bus service in the area: Faster buses that make fewer stops to get more people moving.

Now, Metro is looking to create 24 priority corridors with their own express service by 2015. The transit system currently has six express routes and is considering adding two more in 2010 for Veirs Mill Road in Montgomery County and Leesburg Pike in Virginia.
