Charting Transit: As diesel prices climb, transit agencies are paying more just to keep buses on the road. Northern Virginia bus operators have seen the average bulk diesel price nearly double in the past year, from $2.50 per gallon in 2025 to the current $4.82 per gallon.
The Rise of Diesel Prices. Diesel costs for Northern Virginia buses have nearly doubled in the last year. Today’s price is $4.82/gal. In 2025, it was $2.50/gal. Higher costs may mean fewer buses available to riders. Agencies will need to identify more operating funding to maintain existing service.

This year, we invited the youngest members of the Metro family to help us honor our veterans. 💙📝🚇 Their drawings and messages of gratitude became the inspiration for a specially wrapped train, bus, and Metro Access vehicle. As these vehicles travel throughout the region, they'll carry a simple but powerful message: thank you to all who have served. We are proud to celebrate our veterans today and every day. 🇺🇸 Track this train here under the“Special Edition” tab: wmata.com/live

As Veterans Day approaches, you’re going to see a specially wrapped bus, train, and Metro Access vehicle in the system starting this morning! We’re excited to show our appreciation to our veterans across the region. Here’s a behind-the-scenes sneak peek so you know to keep an eye out! 🚇👀 Each wrap was designed using illustrations and messages from the children of Metro’s very own employees. Track them at wmata.com/live under “Special Edition.” Thank you for your service, veterans. 💙
