Metro to hold public comment sessions on 'Better Bus' initiative

ON THE HILL: New Metro Chief shares vision for the future

Randy Clarke, who will take over as the new Metro General Manager & CEO later this year, sits down with FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald to share his vision for Metro's future.

Metro has also announced a new campaign to get public comment on redesigning the region's bus network.

The initiative is called "Let's Talk Better Bus," and it features events around the DMV to get public input.

The agency is considering changes with how the system works, and they are also considering partnerships with other transit agencies.

Several roundtables are scheduled to take place this month for people to weigh in on initiative.
