Silver Spring Transit Center Bus Stops Being Temporarily Relocated Starting January 5
Beginning on Sunday, January 5, construction of The Purple Line in and around the Silver Spring Transit Center will require temporary Ride On and Metrobus route modifications in downtown Silver Spring.
Several Ride On bus stops in the transit center will be temporarily relocated to the street to safely accommodate Purple Line work, which is expected to continue in this area through spring. Temporary bus stop locations will be along northbound Colesville Road (between Wayne Avenue and Georgia Avenue), on the second floor of the transit center, and on East-West Highway and Colesville Road. Click here to see a package that details information on which bus routes will be relocated.
During the opening weeks of the temporary bus route modifications, there will be additional personnel stationed around the transit center to help direct Ride On users to and from the bus stops and the transit center. There also will be updated signage and maps placed around the center and available in the TRiPS transit services store on the second level.
Google Map bus stop locations will be updated to reflect the temporary changes.
For information on changes to Metrobus in and around the transit center, go here.
