During the partial Red Line shutdown through September 6, 2026, Metro is running free shuttle buses between North Bethesda and Friendship Heights stations. Some shuttles will run express between the two stations, while local service operates along Route 355. Riders also have the option of several Ride On and Metrobus routes serving the still-operational east arm of the Red Line.
