This is actually huge:
With internet shortages/outages after Helene, getting info has been harder b/c news websites with photos and video are slow to load. BPR launched a text only website that will load better even with spotty wifi
text.bpr.org
Absolutely brilliant

👇#wmata will be running more bus service as DC Circulator ends & the DC 24 hr bus network becomes permanent after @wmata board approved MOU w/ DC. We are working hard to run more service w/ the resources we have as ridership continues to grow and is above pre pandemic levels.
Metro Forward@wmata
Beginning early October, Metrobus will expand service to support DC as Circulator phases out. At-A-Glance: ▶️ Immediately enhanced Route 38B between Rosslyn and Farragut Square, ensuring 15-minute service during peak weekend hours #wmata (1/2)

Hey @wmata. According to a neighbor, there’s a temporary stop for the D6 instead of P St NW and 22nd St NW, but there’s no info about the change at the regular stop or on buseta.wmata.com. Where’s the stop, and how long is this change in place? Please do better. @wmataGM

As reporters, there are days where juicy tips, confidential documents or secret intel show up unsolicited in our inboxes, leading to a big story.
Other days, we receive EMBARGOED UNTIL THE BALLOONS DROP
