Phase 1 and 2 Bus Bay Diagram

During construction:

Some bus bays at Shady Grove East will be temporarily closed.
Ride On, Metrobus, and other transit providers may operate from temporary or alternate bus bays.
Temporary bus stops will be ADA-compliant but may not include shelters or benches while work is underway.
Bus bay changes are scheduled to occur early Monday mornings (around 3 a.m.) to reduce impacts during the morning commute.

Clear signs will be posted throughout the station to direct riders to the correct boarding locations, and buses will continue to serve all routes.

Riders are encouraged to:

Allow a few extra minutes for travel through the station
Follow posted signage and staff directions
