The Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center is a bus transit center in Langley Park, Maryland. It is at the intersection of University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue, and is the largest bus-only transfer in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.[2] It is a future transfer point for the Purple Line.

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] The station opened for service on December 22, 2016.[2]

The Purple Line system is under construction as of 2023 and is scheduled to open in 2027.[5]
