Comprehensive Guide to the DC Circulator Bus System
The DC Circulator provides inexpensive, frequent bus service around Washington DC. This relatively new bus service significantly enhances access to Washington, DC attractions, consequently making it easier for visitors, federal workers, and local residents to travel around the downtown area. Moreover, the DC Circulator represents a partnership among DDOT, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and DC Surface Transit, Inc. Since its launch in 2005, the Circulator has experienced substantial growth, supplementing Metro’s bus and rail service while connecting numerous DC neighborhoods and activity centers. Each route operates on different hours, tailored to the demand in each area. (Note that the hours listed below are subject to change.)
