"While the majority of Metro buses operated as scheduled last week, some customers experienced longer, pandemic-related wait times due to fewer buses operating than expected."

We observed ~1k fewer scheduled trips last week than the week prior. #wmata

#WMATA does not call out exactly which Metrobus routes are most affected here, but the P12, T18, and F4 are the top 3 bus routes with the most missing trips last week compared to the week of August 30th; all of those routes are serviced by the agency's Landover bus division.
Assuming these findings and patterns hold, that would mean northern, central, and southern portions of Maryland's Prince George's County are the riders currently most affected by this operator shortage. #wmata
The Red Line Local shuttle buses operating since September 11th to accommodate the ongoing Rockville Canopy Replacement Project may have also been a casualty most of last week. #wmata

We're actively working on validating exactly how many trips didn't operate at 30-minute headways so far today, as well as how frequently this pattern is occurring and for which lines and directions of travel. #wmata
So far today, across all Metrorail lines, about 10% of trips have arrived at least 15 minutes later than advertised, i.e. at least 45 minutes after the train in front of them, not 30. #wmata Image
Knock on *all* the wood as we enter PM rush: there have so far been no other recorded instances of this since our last tweet. 🤞 #wmata
