Shuttle Runs Between Metro Station And Chevy Chase

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- A free shuttle bus has begun operating between the Bethesda Metrorail station and the Chevy Chase Lake community in Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase Land, which owns much of the Chevy Chase Lake area, last month began allowing the public to use a shuttle service that it had previously limited to its retail and office tenants.

The Washington Post reports that the shuttle runs between the Metro station and office building on Connecticut Avenue, just south of Manor Road. It operates between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday to Friday. Pickups are made about every 40 minutes.
