New Metrobus Service to Mark Center
Begins Monday, January 30, 2012

Beginning Monday, Jan. 30, Metrobus Route 28X Leesburg Pike Limited service will be extended to include eastbound trips in the morning and westbound trips in the evening serving the new development at Mark Center.

Customers will be able to travel every 25 to 30 minutes during rush hours between Tysons Corner and Mark Center, near Seminary Road and Beauregard Street. The 28X will provide faster service, with fewer stops than the local route 28A.

Route 28X stops will include the West Falls Church Metrorail Station and Seven Corners Shopping Center.

The new 28X service will remain on Leesburg Pike at Baileys Crossroads and will no longer serve the stops Columbia Pike & Carlin Springs Road. Customers transferring between 16- and 25-Line buses and 28X will need to do so along Leesburg Pike rather than Carlin Springs Road.

In June, service between West Falls Church Station and Mark Center will be increased to operate every 15 minutes.
