Metro Extends Route K9 Bus Service along New Hampshire Ave. to FDA

One year after the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) created the K9 limited-stop bus service from the Fort Totten Metro Station to Northwest Park, it has extending the service to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/Federal Research Center. The service, which began December 29, will further help relieve crowding along the New Hampshire Avenue corridor, providing buses every 16 to 18 minutes during morning and evening weekday rush hours.

“The extension of Metro’s K9 bus route will make a tremendous difference on busy New Hampshire Avenue, which has the third highest bus ridership in Maryland,” said County Executive Ike Leggett.
