The Better Bus Network was adopted by the Metro Board last month and calls for streamlined services within the communities servicing the Braddock Road Corridor.

Here is a summary of the changes that are expected in June 2025 (fiscal year 2026) with the implementation of the 2025 Network within the corridor. Please note as part of this implementation all route numbers and names are redesigned.

• Route 17K (to be renamed as F28 Kings Park West) will continue to serve Kings Park West with the route starting from Braddock Rd at Twinbrook Rd serving the Little Run Estates subdivision (Pickett Rd and Twinbrook Rd north of Braddock Rd) prior to traveling through Kings Park West and Lake Braddock.
• The renamed F28 Kings Park West route will continue along the same 17K routing to The Pentagon via I-495 and I-395 express lanes.
• Routes 17G and 17M will be combined and streamlined (as route F29 Braddock Rd) that will travel along Braddock Rd from George Mason University to Little River Turnpike via Kings Park.
• This renamed F29 Braddock Rd will continue on to the Pentagon using the I-395 express lanes instead of operating express from Braddock Rd at I-495.
• An express fare will be charged for the F28 and a local fare will be charged for the F29.
