"While like, I get fares is what helps pay for Metro,” Shahid said. “[But] people are poor these days."This comes as Metro just approved its "Better Bus Network" redesign focused on making the bus system easier, faster and more reliable. The plan will eliminate 500 underused bus stops that slow the bus down and make changes to most routes to better serve customers. “I'm glad they're doing that,” Metro passenger Mernine Ameris, said. “I took the bus this morning and someone was training on the bus at the time, so I'm sure they're like ramping up and getting new drivers and things like that. And that's, like, stimulating and good."

Lincoln in D.C., direct service across Glebe Road from Tysons to Ballston to Potomac Yards in Virginia and a new limited stop frequent service on Baltimore Avenue/Route 1 corridor in Maryland. Metro also added 11 more routes to its frequent service network with service every 12-20 minutes.
