Bus Service on Columbia Pike

Did you know Columbia Pike, between Bailey’s Crossroads and the Pentagon, is one of the most-traveled arteries in our region?

The local bus lines serving the area move so many people with such high collective frequency that the Pike has become Northern Virginia’s busiest transit corridor. The ART and Metro buses along Columbia Pike help Northern Virginians travel to work, home, doctor’s appointments, restaurants and recreation, as well as connect them to the broader regional transit network–and the places beyond it.

Charting Transit is a regular feature from our data team, led by Sophie Spiliotopoulos, using visual storytelling to highlight transit facts and statistics.
