For immediate release: June 14, 2007

Service increased on Metrobus 98 Adams Morgan-U Street Link

Metrobus 98, the Adams Morgan-U Street Link, will run every 10 minutes instead of every 15 minutes, beginning July 1 as part of a three-month test to increase ridership.

For just 25 cents, passengers can take the bus that travels along the busy Adams Morgan and U Street corridors. The bus route runs from Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metrorail station to the U St/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Metrorail station, and operates Sunday through Friday from 6 p.m. to Metrorail closing and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to Metrorail closing.

Increasing the frequency of Metrobus 98 to boost ridership was a recommendation of the Adams Morgan Partnership. The District of Columbia will reimburse Metro $70,000 for the additional service.
