and minnesota avenue. i also noticed out here they have capital bike share and they have it half full, half empty for people coming to pick up a bike or those getting off at eastern market and need a bike. a few signs up mapping out the route for those who are going to be on bicycles. we'll be out here this morning. in our 6:00 a.m. hour, we'll talk to gm paul wiedefeld and talk to riders and get a feel for how it will work in phase two of safetrack at metro. later this morning we'll talk one-on-one with the man in charge of all of the changes. metro gm paul wiedefeld joins us for a live interview at 6:15. a little relief for commuters. prince george's county is adding a second shuttle bus line to help riders get around. it will run between largo and suitland stations. there will be ten buses during rush hour. phase 2 will end on july 3rd. we're still
