Bus Guidelines Phase 1: Consolidated Bus Stops
January 14th, 2011
As described in a previous post, Metro has recently completed the first phase of implementing the new bus stop design and placement guidelines. This first phase included consolidating bus stops along four routes in the District of Columbia. As noted before, these routes were chosen because they have the highest number of stops per mile within the Metrobus system.
Below is a complete listing of the bus stops that were removed. As suggested before, please let us know in the comments of other corridors or segments of bus routes that you feel have stops too often.

Please look at the 22A line on South Four Mile Run Drive. Not only are there too many stops, but some stops are in locations which cannot be used by the disabled (cars can park in front of the stop).
There are two stops in the same block of M Street SE. One is in front of the Navy Yard entrance, and one was in front of the retirement home that was demolished two years ago.
It’s not more than two hundred feet between them. Get rid of the second.
All the D routes downtown. They stop at every block on K st and add considerably to traffic.
