From the Mayor’s Office:
“The Bowser Administration and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) announced temporary service adjustments to support most of the DC Circulator bus routes that will end on December 31, 2024.
“By consolidating more bus transit under the Metrobus brand, we can strengthen the District’s overall transit network, avoid duplicative services, and operate more efficiently,” said Acting DDOT Director Sharon Kershbaum. “These changes will allow our partners at WMATA to better serve thousands of bus riders while using resources more cost-effectively.”
Recently, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the planned phase-down of DC Circulator service beginning October 1, 2024, with service ending December 31, 2024. In preparation, WMATA conducted a comprehensive review of its bus network and the proposed 2025 Better Bus Network redesign. DDOT and WMATA have identified ways to leverage Metrobus’s extensive network to ensure a seamless experience for DC Circulator customers, enhance service to key destinations, and provide additional capacity on routes that may experience crowding due to the shift of Circulator passengers to Metrobus. WMATA will use its best efforts to provide transitional service based on customer volume and key connections until the launch of the Better Bus Network in July 2025.
