The Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center is a bus transit center and future Purple Line light rail station in Langley Park, Maryland. Located at the intersection of University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue, it is the largest bus-only transfer in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.[2]
History
The center was delayed by negotiations over land. Construction started in the spring of 2013, with an expected completion date in the fall of 2015.[3] The $34.8-million transit center was designed to ease bus transfers and improve pedestrian safety.[4] It ultimately opened on December 22, 2016.[2]
As of 2022, the Purple Line is planned to open in 2027.[5] It will have an island platform in the median of University Boulevard just west of New Hampshire Avenue.[6][7]
