Route 29 BRT is a proposed 13.5 miles (21.7 km) Bus Rapid Transit line between the Silver Spring station of the Washington Metro and the Burtonsville Park and Ride.[1] It would serve Montgomery County, Maryland.

Route

The service will run from its Northern end at the Burtonsville Park and Ride along U.S. 29, before ending at the Silver Spring Metrorail station. The service will run along road shoulders along the northern end. The remainder of the service will run on mixed-traffic roadways. Buses will also receive signal priority at some intersections.[1]

Stations

There are eleven stations proposed for the route. Stations will feature bus arrival signs, off-board fare collection, platform-level boarding, and all-door boarding.[1]
