Metro Bus Planning is studying the Hunting Point Lines in Virginia. The lines under study include:
- 10 A,E – Hunting Point to Pentagon Line
- 10B – Hunting Point to Ballston Line
The Hunting Point Lines are one of the busiest services operating in Virginia and ridership has been growing steadily over the past five years. On an average weekday, over 5,000 people ride the Hunting Point Lines; the Saturday average is over 3,000 with 1,800 on Sunday. On-time performance (OTP) is generally good, averaging about 80% for June 2013. The lines meet Metro’s ridership and productivity thresholds.
Some of the issues identified in the existing conditions report include:
- Route directness and convenience
- On-time performance for the 10B on Saturday afternoons
- Traffic congestion problems at Mount Vernon Avenue on Saturdays
- Survey indicated that the main issues for riders are service frequency and reliability
- Too many bus stops too close together
- Missing bus stop amenities
