Georgetown can still be a difficult place to get to via transit, though once there, you’ll find a local bus service. The D.C. Circulator service was established in part to get visitors and even locals from the downtown business district into Georgetown. Even so, I get occasional e-mails like this one from Zack: “I wanted to ask you about a certain high-profile Metrobus route that is notable only in its nonexistence. I recently moved to Adams Morgan and work in Georgetown. My home andoffice are less than three miles apart and yet it takes me nearly 40 minutes to commute to work one-way, and that’s during rush hour when the busses run most frequently. Surprisingly, there is no direct connection between these two neighborhoods. I recently submitted a comment to Metro via its Web site.
“Please! I know this would be a well-used route. I’d be happy even if it were on a 30-minute schedule or similar. As an added benefit, it would take some of the traffic away from the overtaxed 42 route. What are the chances that this might ever happen? How can I effectively lobby Metro? Thanks again for your valuable contribution to the D.C. community.”
