D.C. plans to end one Circulator line, start another

Published August 9, 2011 4:00am ET



The District plans to eliminate one D.C. Circulator route to create another in October, shifting buses that now run between the Convention Center and the Southwest Waterfront and moving them to the east side of the Anacostia River. The proposed route would be the system’s first connection to the transit-hungry far Southeast neighborhoods that include Anacostia. But it’s gone through some changes in recent months.

Originally, the District proposed adding 11 new stops to the existing Circulator route that runs from Union Station through Capitol Hill to the Navy Yard, sending the buses over the South Capitol Street bridge to the Congress Heights Metro stop.
