Get on the bus!
The Washington Post has been running a series of articles on cheap and quick ways to improve transportation around the metro area. Today, there is a piece about buses.
They're right when they say one of the best ways to improve buses is to post more detailed maps and schedules at stops. The problem with Metrobuses is that you see them on the street, but it's hard to tell where they go. One might see a 42 bus on Columbia Road with a sign indicating it goes to Metro Center, but how does it get there? Across U Street and down 13th? Via Connecticut and then H? Around the White House and then back up? Since the bus numbers and vague destination signs offer few clues, bus shelters should offer more information.
