Map updated on March 30. There were a couple of small errors in the map posted to the DC Circulator site on March 27.

The two new DC Circulator routes have been updated on the DC Circulator web site. You may now download a PDF that includes all five Circulator routes.

DDOT spokesperson Karyn LeBlanc confirmed that the map posted on the site late Friday is accurate, and that the new routes will begin with soft launches for the Woodley Park/McPherson Square route on Sunday, March 29, and the Union Station/Navy Yard route on Monday, March 30, with a formal announcement and press event set for Wednesday, April 1.

Full list of stops indicated on the map after the jump.

The Woodley Park/Adams Morgan - McPherson Square Metro route, marked in green, will stop at the following locations Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to Midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 a.m.:

  • Woodley Park/Adams Morgan Zoo Metro
  • 18th & Columbia
  • 16th & Harvard/16th & Irving
  • Columbia Heights Metro
  • 14th and U Streets NW
  • 14th and P Streets NW
  • McPherson Square

That's only seven stops (not counting the multiple pick-up spots indicated at McPherson Square), making this Circulator line the most "limited stop" bus to be operated in the District.

The Union Station - Navy Yard Metro route, marked in blue, will stop at the following locations on weekdays from 6 a.m. - 7 p.m., with extended service on Nationals game days (presumably not on weekend game days, however):

  • Union Station
  • 1st Street and Maryland Ave. NE
  • 2nd Street and Independence Ave. SE/3rd Street and Pennsylvania Ave. SE
  • Eastern Market
  • 8th and G Streets SE
  • 8th and L Streets SE
  • 6th and M Streets SE
  • 3rd/4th and M Streets SE
  • Navy Yard Metro

That makes nine stops for the Circulator route that goes to Nationals Park.
