WMATA this week announced a long list of Metrobus route service changes that will go into effect starting Sunday, March 29. Among the highlights: the N22 Navy Yard Shuttle Line and the 98 Adams Morgan-U Street Link will be discontinued to make way for new Circulator routes (starting dates for those lines still have yet to be officially announced); the S9 16th Street Express Line will begin operating during peak weekday hours (on Monday); the 53, 70, 71, 90, 92, 93, and 96 bus routes will be modified to start or end at a different stop; and the L2, the 79 Georgia Avenue Metro Extra Line, and S1 lines will see increased frequency during the morning rush. Consult Metro's full list of bus route and schedule changes to see if your route is affected.

so pissed my beloved Adams Morgan-U Street Link is being discontinued. Why DC? Why? Hopefully this new "DC Circulator" route will work the same way and I hope it's still .25.
why so pissed? It was impossible to predict when a 98 bus would show up. Even though the route was only about 2 miles long, it never ran to time. You could almost always walk to where you wanted to go quicker than taking a 98. Good riddance to it!
The Circulator sign, showing the new routes, was up at Woodley Park metro. The sooner it starts the better. And since you asked, no, the Circulator will not run the same route as the 98. It'll be a better route.
i never had to wait more than 5 mins at the bus stop on 18th and adams mill.. worked great for me.
That woman has some thunder thighs...
which is relevant because...?
The 98 is being discontinued without any announcement of when the Circulator is starting?! That is ridiculous. Sometimes governments just don't know what they are doing.
This is all supposed to go down in two days and there is still not a single mention of it on the Circulator site.
how the hell are the 90, 92, and 93 going to turn around at 13th and U? there's no room for that there.
They could turn the bus around at 14th and U, except the lane is taken up with all the valet parking d-bags going to Policy for their Goatse-tinis and $15 cockpunches.
The S9 route is odd. Every other bus with a Silver Spring stop has its terminus at the station. But if I get on this one at the station going south, I have to sit on the bus for a few minutes at 16th and Eastern??? Doesn't this more or less eliminate the 6-8 minutes they estimate the express will save? I guess this is just to avoid the Silver Spring busterf*ck??? Weird.
Wait, they are discontinuing the routes and the replacements haven't started? That's ass.
FixedGearRider, Eh? That gives me an idea... I'm gonna convert a 70's-era steel Japanese steed and PROVE to everyone that I'm still relevant AND hep. Craigslist, here I come.
(jowl power)
not sure why the S9 terminus starts at 16th and eastern going southbound. most of the people that take that route in the evening work up the street in downtown silver spring. i see the 16th and buchanan stop is still on the route which is where drivers switch out and BS with each other while you sit getting later for work. express my arse.
Damn you, DCist, getting me all excited about more morning L2s.
If you actually read the site they are just adding more southbound buses in late afternoon. Which I couldn't give less of a shit about.
How many Bus photos did you have to through to find one that only had white passengers?
