I live in Woodmoor in Silver Spring. I need buses up Rt 29 from Silver Spring Metro. Please do not cut bus service.

The year is 2020; this "solution" is from the 1950s and it was not a good idea even then.

Public transportation help people without cars have access. It also helps keep our air breathable.

We NEED extensive and reliable public transportation urgently as part of our efforts to combat GHG emissions and save our planet-home.

This is exactly the wrong policy direction. More bus service, not less.

If we cut service people will just drive and we will have a worse traffic nightmare!

We need more buses! They contribute to maintaining our economy and our lives. Most people do not live walking distance from the subway.

For the climate, we need public transport better and better, not worse.

We need more public transportation not less for the reasons of reducing GHG emissions, reducing traffic congestion and increasing economic opportunities for all.

Cutting metro bus service will hamper our ability to reach 80% clean energy by 2027 and 100% clean energy by 2035.. We need to double metro bus capacity, not cut the vital transportation service it provides.

To address climate change and achieve Montgomery County’s goal if 80% reduction in n greenhouse gases by 2027 and 100% reduction by 2035, we need MORE pubic transportation, including bys routes, not less! I am strongly opposed to WMATA’s proposed cuts!

We need more buses not less in this time of climate crisis. People will ride buses if they come frequently and are clean.

The bus lines are what keep our community accessible, diverse and dynamic.

I oppose major cuts in bus transportation, which would disadvantage people without private cars and further road congestion, particularly at rush hour.

It makes sense to consider changes to routes that could increase ridership as well as integrate with the Purple Line and BRT, but any changes should seek to increase capacity and coverage is what we need. I would like to see WMATA and the County considering any shifts that might imitate the success that Houston has seen in implementing a grid layout of routes.

My husband and I have a single airbnb unit (legal) in our house. Most of our guests are interns and visiting scientists at NIH. They depend on the J2 bus. In order to keep our house, we depend on the income from our unit. With no bus service, we may cease to attract guests and we could be forced to sell our house. The county should support, not undermine the presence of NIH. It brings income, prestige and talented people to our county. Cutting bus service undermines all that. Michaele Weissman
