Why are there Next Bus signs posted at bus stops?
Metro has been posting Next Bus signs or decals at Metrobus stops and bus shelters throughout the region. The round, red, white and blue Next Bus sign posted at a Metrobus stop includes a unique, identifying bus stop number and the phone number to call to get real-time bus arrival information for that bus stop. Signs currently are being posted at about 12,000 Metrobus stops in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
