I just wonder, how would the 22B as an ART route work out since it's disconnected from the core ART network. I agree with the 24P becoming an ART route now since Arlington close and operations transferred out to the boonies. ART might bounce back as a good TA in the region with new buses and routes on the way.

This is not a new condition - before the 9S, there was the 90 (and also 91 at one point) that were not connected to any other ART routes.

True, but having an ART route isolated from the rest would be odd. However, if both went to ART, maybe interlining them both could do some good.

How is it odd when I just said, and you just agreed, that it has been done before with no problem?  It's not illegal to do that, the point is to get people from A to B, and if that A to B doesn't correspond to other As and Bs within the system, fine...considering the amount of Metrobus coverage in Arlington County.

It's also important to note that your free ART transfer can be used on any Metrobus
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

FMR still does the 1 routes.
