Bus Services

Figures 15 and 16 show Metrobus ridership on a daily and annual basis, respectively, for FY 2002 compared to FY 2001, by route.  For Metrobus, despite the effects of September 11, 2001, ridership in FY 2002 was greater than in FY 2001.  Figure 17 provides monthly comparisons of ridership.  Figure 18 shows annual historical comparisons, with the last four years providing a lofty platform to support future growth. 

Taking the Pentagon Multi-Modal Transit Center as an example, of Metrorail’s 36,000 daily riders at that station, 29,000 (80 percent) make a bus connection.  About 5,500 of the Pentagon’s employees use transit, with 1,571 daily bus arrivals and 84 bus routes at the 24 bus bays in service there.  Metrobus weekday boardings exceed 32,000.
