News related to D.C. Metro trains and buses, operated by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
www.fox5dc.comHere’s the latest I can share about WMATA’s Trip Planner.
- WMATA’s Trip Planner has been updated to reflect the new bus network that launched on June 29, 2025. The planner now includes the new bus routes and names to help riders plan trips more accurately.[1][3]
- Real-time support and live chat for the Trip Planner are available during typical business hours, with agents available Monday–Friday and weekend hours as well, excluding holidays.[3]
- Third-party and WMATA-related coverage in late 2025 and early 2026 notes ongoing updates to transit information and related apps that integrate WMATA trip planning features, including mobile options and real-time alerts.[4][6]
If you’d like, I can pull in the most current official WMATA Trip Planner page and summarize any changes reported in today’s notices or news articles, and I can also check for any recent service advisories that could affect trip planning (e.g., detours or schedule shifts).
