Behold the new Metrobus paint scheme. It obeys the current fashion trend sweeping transit agencies around the country: eliminate horizontal-stripe-on-a-white-field, replace with solid colors and curved lines. Examples abound.

The new livery is more noticeable, therefore more effective. That makes us fans. We’d prefer, however, that WMATA focus on getting unique livery to all its limited routes, where a different paint scheme can illustrate different service, rather than onto normal routes.
