WMATA has settled on a brand for its upcoming Crystal City Potomac Yard BRT line. It will be called Metro Way, and it will feature a flashy new blue paint scheme.

The BRT line will run from Pentagon City through Crystal City and then into Alexandria. It will have dedicated lanes, with large rail-like stations, and will run every 6 minutes during rush hour, and every 12-15 at other times.

In a few years it will be upgraded to streetcar. But in the mean time, it’s the DC region’s first bona fide BRT.

WMATA selected the Metro Way brand and livery following a survey this past March that considered several options. The blue livery, although clearly unique, reflects Metro’s use of blue for its MetroExtra express buses.
