Route 903 first started operating in 2001 as a supplement to several other area bus routes where demand for service was high.[3]
In 2008, MTA proposed to combine Route 913 with Route 903 in order to provide increased service to the busy M Street corridor, a change that ultimately took place on January 12, 2009. Concern was raised over whether some riders needing to transfer would have to pay a second fare when boarding another bus, but MTA stated that there would be no second fare.[4][5]
This bus route was renumbered to MTA Commuter Bus Route 735.[6]
