The Metroway is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). It consists of a single line operating in Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia. It opened on August 24, 2014. It is the first bus rapid transit line to open in Virginia and in the Washington metropolitan area.
The service runs from its northern end at the Pentagon City south through Crystal City and Potomac Yard before ending at the Braddock Road Metrorail station. The service runs along a bus-only roadway along Jefferson Davis Highway in Alexandria between Potomac and East Glebe stations, as well as a busway in Arlington. The remainder of the service runs on mixed-traffic roadways.
There are fifteen stations on the route. Ten of the stations offer two-way service; two of the stations, 18th & Crystal and 23rd & Crystal, are northbound-only; and three other stations, 26th & Clark, 23rd & Clark, and Pentagon City, are southbound-only.
The Metroway stations vary depending on location and jurisdiction, though all stations consist of side platforms and sidewalk-level bus stops.
