Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) GM Paul J. Wiedefeld and Fairfax County officials held a ribbon cutting today celebrating the completion of $5.5 million in bus improvements at the Franconia-Springfield Metro station.
The improvements expand capacity and provide additional amenities to enhance the customer experience, including three new bus bays and the introduction of real-time bus arrival information. A newly installed canopy supported with steel truss columns connects the bus area to the station entrance providing weather protection and easy access between Metrobus and Metrorail service.
