Bus routes for three systems and eventually a rail stop on the WMATA Purple Line will use the new Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center, located north of Washington, D.C.
Luz Lazo reports on the opening of the new Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center, located in Langley Park, Maryland.
With 12 bus bays, the center will be a hub for Metrobus, Ride On, TheBus and University of Maryland shuttles at a single intersection, which sits at the border with Montgomery County. The transit center is also expected to be a future stop for the Purple Line, the proposed light-rail system that would run through Prince George’s and Montgomery. As many as 60 buses will go in and out during rush hour and as many as 12,000 people are projected to make transfers there each day.
According to Lazo, the transit center opening culminates more than a decade of planning and construction on the $34.8 million project.
