​PG Bus Service Delays

Transit service on the Prince George’s County TheBus will only be provided on major arterials and collector roadways Thursday because of the forecast for heavy snow. As conditions permit, TheBus routes will serve residential streets where safe access and egress allow.

Roadway conditions will be evaluated and monitored throughout the day, transit officials said, and frequent NextBus system alerts and service status updates will be provided for all TheBus routes.

Riders should plan for significant delays where service is available. For the latest information on TheBus routes, visit www.NextBus.com and scroll down to Prince George’s County, Maryland.
