“While emphasizing that bus service is limited to essential trips only, Metro is taking additional action to enhance the safety of its frontline workforce by implementing rear-door boarding across the Metrobus system, effective Tuesday, March 24. Several other U.S. transit systems have already implemented rear-door boarding in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Starting tomorrow, all Metrobus riders are asked to enter and exit the bus using the rear door at all times, except anyone needing the ADA boarding ramp (e.g. people using wheelchairs), or anyone requesting the bus to “kneel” to facilitate their boarding. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I would like to thank an anonymous stellar human. I dropped my entire wallet in Rock Creek Park on Sunday. Before I returned to my house from my hike, someone had returned my wallet in my mailbox in NE with only this note: “Found in Rock Creek Park”. I appreciate the time they took to drive to my house and return this. It made my day!”
Thanks to Mary for sharing: “Not encouraging people to be out and about, but I took my elderly neighbor’s dog for a good long walk yesterday and ran across this gem. I didn’t come across the other members of the arts walk, but hopefully they will enjoy being spotlighted!” (more…)

Strange times. Stay safe out there y’all.”
