Metro News Release

For immediate release: March 11, 2013

Metro seeks input on the Bowie Lines (Route B21,22, B24,25, B27, B29,31) services

Customers, transportation agencies, to discuss service issues, potential solutions

Metro will host two public meetings to discuss the Bowie Lines (B21,22, B24,25, B27, B29,31) Service Evaluation Study. The meetings are part of ongoing studies to improve Metrobus service on some of the region’s most heavily used bus lines. At the meetings, the project team will discuss preliminary findings and potential service improvement concepts.

Customers are encouraged to attend these meetings to provide input on Bowie Lines Metrobus service:

Thursday, March 21, 2013
5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Bowie Senior Center
14900 Health Center Drive
Bowie, MD

Wednesday, March 27
5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Bowie State University
J. Alexander Wiseman Centre, Room 123
14000 Jericho Park Road
Bowie, MD

All members of the public are welcome.

The format of the meetings will be “open house,” where participants can come by at any time between the beginning and end of the meeting to offer their input; no advance registration is required. Metro hopes that the open format will promote a direct dialogue between Metrobus riders and project staff, and that the absence of a meeting schedule will appeal to those who have only a few minutes to participate.

For more information about the Service Evaluation Study, or to give Metro your feedback in a survey about the lines currently being evaluated, please visit the Metrobus Studies website.
