Do you love getting around town on the Circulator for just $1? There are changes coming to the Circulator routes that you need to know. The changes will be implemented starting this Sunday, June 24.
Eastern Market Metro – L’Enfant Plaza Metro (EMLP): This new route connects Eastern Market Metro station and L’Enfant Plaza Metro. The route goes along 8th Street SE and moves west on M Street SE. It serves the waterfront and the District Wharf and moves north on 7th Street SW to L’Enfant Plaza.
Congress Heights – Union Station (CHUS): Connecting Union Station and Historic Anacostia, this route moves along Massachusetts Avenue NE and south on 8th Street SE past the Navy Yard. The bus then moves east on M Street SE toward the 11th Street bridges and connecting to both Anacostia Metro and Congress Heights Metro via Stanton Road.
Both routes will run from 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. on weekends.
The Congress Heights-Union Station route seems like a particularly useful route for neighbors around the Hill, providing an additional option for weekend grocery hauls. It connects well with the existing Metrobus routes serving parts of the neighborhood. What do you think?
