Dupont-Rosslyn Circulator to launch Sept. 1

Blue Bus fans, take your good-bye rides on the Georgetown Metro Connection. On September 1, the Circulator's newest line will be phasing out the existing Blue Bus line, according to the Washington Business Journal.

Of course, no one is really despairing. The Circulator buses will be larger, follow the same route, and be part of a reliable and already and well-known fleet. Members of the Georgetown community are excited for the bus line, which will be the first Circulator route to operate partially outside of the District of Columbia.

In a June interview, BID Executive Director James Bracco said that it was possible that a more visible transportation route to the Georgetown shopping district would bring more foot traffic—potential shoppers—to the area.
