(Washington, DC) Metro and  the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will jointly host two public meetings about the 30s and M6 Metrobus Lines study on October 18 and 24.

The Thursday, October 18 meeting will take place from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at St. Columba’s Episcopal Church, 4201 Albemarle Street, NW. 

The second meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 24, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, 2700 O Street, SE, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. 

The meetings will focus on customer review and feedback on options to improve service on Metrobus routes 30, 32, 34, 35, 36 and M6. The draft improvement options were developed from responses to a June 2007 rider survey, input from public meetings in July and additional technical analyses conducted by the study staff.

The current 30s bus line service—which runs generally along Pennsylvania Avenue from Naylor Road and Southern Avenue Metro Stations to the Foggy Bottom area and along Wisconsin Avenue from Georgetown to Friendship Heights—has the highest ridership of any line in the Metrobus system.

The study is looking for ways to diminish the effects of traffic delays, crowding, detours, safety issues and other problems common among large urban bus systems.
