ART Real-Time Numbers Changing

April 13, 2022

Beginning the week of April 18th, ART real-time numbers will be changing from five digits to seven digits. The change will occur over the course of several weeks as crews replace the numbers on the bus stop signs and flags. Until the changeover is complete, you will be able to enter either the current five digit or the new seven digit stop number into ART’s Real Time information page on the ART website. The new seven-digit regional ID number will match the number in WMATA’s Metrobus system. This new system will provide improved real-time information to both ART dispatchers and the public. The change also means that the arrival by phone system will be unavailable until the software for the new system is updated. Examples of current and new stop ID numbers below:

Current 5-Digit Stop ID Number on Bus Stop Sign
