Takoma/Langley Crossroads Transit Center

The Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center officially opened for service on December 22, 2016 and is operated by the Maryland Transit Administration. The Transit Center's Opening has centralized bus transfer points to create safer conditions for riders. More information can be found here. A customer brochure is available here.

The Takoma/Langley Crossroads is a bustling commercial center flanked by some of the highest residential densities in the Metropolitan Washington Area. 11 bus lines (WMATA, Montgomery County Ride On, Prince George's County The Bus) service this intersection, which is used by approximately 12,000 bus passengers daily. As the outcome of pedestrian safety improvements initiated in the early 2000's, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is building a bus transit center on the northwest corner of the University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue intersection, where the Taco Bell is currently located. Updates on the transit center will be posted here.
