The changes will go into effect in June on bus routes in these areas, including Naylor Road to Potomac Park, Pennsylvania Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, 16th Street NW, Georgia Avenue, Southwest waterfront, Leesburg Pike and New Carrollton to Silver Spring.

Finally the F4/6 is getting some well needed attention.  Hopefully they find a way to add more service to alleviate the severe crowding.

The money to pay for the changes to the priority bus corridors comes from a $5 million surplus in Metro's fiscal 2011 budget. Metro General Manager Richard Sarles said there was a surplus after Metro paid off a "preventative maintenance loan" and did an audit.

Interesting, but I hope they would be able to find the money to keep the changes in place after the next fiscal year.  I'm glad the bus division hasn't been forgotten as they work to fix up Metrorail.
