From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced that the operating hours of three DC Circulator routes will extend to 11:00 p.m.
“As we continue through our COVID-19 response and simultaneous recovery, we remain committed to providing safe and socially distanced transit options,” said Mayor Bowser. “Over the past several months, the Circulator has helped many of our essential workers move around the District and get to work. We are proud to have this service available, and happy to be extending the hours so that it works even better for our community.”
Starting Sunday, August 30, the following routes will operate weekdays 6:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. and weekends 7:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Just putting this out here since I’ve been increasingly frustrated with the inconsistent frequency of the Circulator service lately, particularly at rush hour. Their website continues to claim service “every 10 minutes” but that level of service hasn’t happened in many months. (more…)
A reader caught one of the new Circulator buses on a training run at Irving and 15th. 2 new cirulator routes were announced, on the DCCirulator Web site, that they’ll be starting on Monday. Here’s a look at the routes:

“I saw this posted in the MPD 3D listserv today…saying that not only will there be a new 16th st express, but also that a Circulator bus would now be on a route b/w “Woodley Park Metro station to McPherson Square Metro station stopping in Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, U Street, and Logan Circle.
Any tips on what the route might look like? A quick survey of wmata.com for “new circulator route” only came up with press releases concerning the funding but not the route… Any tips on what the route might look like? Do you think it might come past/ north of 14th and Irving?”
From Jim Graham’s Email:
“Beginning March 29, a new DC Circulator route will be added to serve Ward One/Ward Two neighborhoods. This express bus will run from Woodley Park Metro station to McPherson Square Metro station stopping in Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, U Street, and Logan Circle. I authored the funds for this expansion of the DC Circulator. http://www.grahamwone.com/?q=
Anyone know the location of the stops?
