Neighbor Chris passed this along from the Prince of Petworth blog that budget cuts at WMATA might affect/reduce service of the G2 bus in addition to the yellow metro line.
I know that would definitely affect my quality of life!
See the WMATA proposal on slashing services here, and there are public hearings on it listed as well.

this seemed a worthwhile comment to repost from the Prince of Petworth blog:

Good grief, talk about reaching to find things to complain about.
First of all, the proposed G2 service changes will not restrict any District resident’s access to food. GreaterGreaterWashington conveniently posted a map of the District’s food deserts and this route does not pass through any of them.
Second, the proposed services changes propose extending the time between buses by THREE MINUTES. Jeez. Three minutes. This is not the end of the world. Eat an edamame while you wait.
Third, most of the G2 line is within walking distance of various metro stations and there are other Whole Foods stores that you can shop at that are near the metro if you absolutely must by your carrots at WF.
What we should all be concerned about are the service cuts that will affect the people least able to adapt to them. Poor people. People with disabilities. People who do not live near other transit options.
WMATA is proposing pushing back the start of metro service by a half hour. This will affect a lot of service-sector workers who start their day while most of us are in dreamland. Many of their jobs make getting to our jobs easier for the rest of us–making our coffee, directing rush-hour traffic, taking our kids to school. They are proposing cutting the E6 route altogether, which will cut off the Knollwood Retirement Home entirely. There are NO other transit options for that population. They are proposing cutting the E36 route that serves Eastern High School entirely, just in time for the school to re-open in the fall.
Those of us who are fortunate enough to live in neighborhoods like Bloomingdale and shop at Whole Foods need to be vocal and advocate for people who are less fortunate than us, who cannot attend public hearings because they are at their second or third job or already do not have sufficient public transit options to get to the meeting. They need us to speak up for THEM, not to selfishly demand more for ourselves at the expense of the people who need transit the most.
