Starting Monday, July 1, Metro is adjusting its shuttle bus service to improve travel times and reduce bus congestion at the Silver Spring Transit Center. Currently, the Red Line Limited 2 shuttle loop travels from Forest Glen to Silver Spring to Fort Totten and those travel times have taken longer than originally estimated. The Limited 2 service, as currently operated, will be replaced by two new, more efficient express shuttle loops.
The Forest Glen Express will operate between Forest Glen and Fort Totten.
The Silver Spring Express will operate between Silver Spring and Fort Totten.
The implementation of the new express loops will allow shuttle operation and normal bus service to operate more efficiently, allowing customers to reach their destination faster.
Metro is also updating the estimated travel times for all its routes as traffic and Metropolitan Branch Trail Construction on Blair Road have made travel times longer than expected.
