WMATA Adds Stop for P93, P94 at Southern Ave SE
Riders on two Prince George's County bus routes will have a new boarding option starting May 7. WMATA is opening a westbound bus stop on Southern Avenue SE at Wheeler Road, serving routes P93 and P94 toward National Harbor and Eastover. The stop, identified as #3004587, provides an additional access point for passengers traveling westbound on the affected routes.
Network Improvement Initiative
The new stop is part of WMATA's ongoing efforts to improve bus network accessibility and convenience, transit officials said. The agency regularly evaluates stop locations based on ridership patterns and community needs. Southern Avenue SE serves as a key east-west corridor in Prince George's County, connecting residential areas with commercial districts and transit hubs. The addition reflects the agency's strategy to enhance service coverage in areas where riders need better access to westbound routes.
Service Details and Stop Location
The stop will serve both P93 and P94 routes, which provide connections between National Harbor, Eastover, and surrounding communities. Passengers boarding at the new Southern Avenue SE location will have access to westbound service on both routes. The stop is positioned at the intersection of Southern Avenue SE and Wheeler Road, making it accessible to riders in the immediate area. WMATA assigned stop ID #3004587 to the new location for rider reference and trip planning purposes.
Implementation Timeline
The new stop becomes operational May 7, 2026, with the service advisory remaining in effect through July 7, 2026. WMATA didn't specify whether the July end date indicates a temporary pilot period or simply marks the duration of the initial advisory. The agency encourages riders to check current schedules as they plan trips using the new boarding location.
Rider Information and Updates
Passengers should incorporate the new stop location into their travel plans starting May 7. WMATA recommends riders sign up for MetroAlerts to receive real-time service updates and notifications about route changes. Moovit provides real-time bus tracking and trip planning for WMATA routes, helping riders locate the new stop and plan connections efficiently.
