Metro Bus Stops

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This point layer was created from the GTFS data feeds from the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority (WMATA) to represent the new WMATA bus transit stops for the Better Bus Network Redesign(BBNR). Points in this layer represent individual bus stops; they were generalized from the GTFS format where stops depicted individual services. On June 29, 2025, WMATA implemented a brand new Metrobus Network – known as Better Bus. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Each point in this layer represents a bus stop served by the routes, with the stop sequence field indicating the order of stops based on the route's travel direction. This feature class was generated using a relational query on the trip_id, shape_id fields from the trip.txt and stop_times.txt files from the GTFS. The unique identifier for each stop is designated by the REG_ID (Regional ID), a field created by WMATA to assign a recognizable number to each stop, ensuring that every stop has a distinct ID.
