The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority will replace 187 bus shelters across 24 metro stations, over the span of 118 weeks. This is the second phase of the Better Bus initiative to improve customer experience.
Starting January 5, Shady Grove East Metrorail Station will begin work to replace the old bus shelters for new ones that will “continue to protect customers from the weather while incorporating enhanced safety features,” says the transit authority.
The new bus shelters will improve accessibility, safety and comfort to customers. The construction and replacement is estimated to take up to two weeks at the Shady Grove Metro Station.
During construction, some bus bays at Shady Grove will be closed in phases; Ride On and Metrobus may operate from alternate bus bays. According to Ride On authorities, clear signs will be posted throughout the station to inform riders of the temporary changes.
For Montgomery County-area Metro stations, the Phase 2 project that began in December 2025 includes replacing shelters at the following stations:
Twinbrook, Shady Grove, Medical Center, Grosvenor, Wheaton, Glenmont, New Carrollton
All buses will continue to serve all routes.
