Update: From here on out, getting the systems back up and running will occur on a rolling basis. “Individual line segments and bus routes will come back on as soon as they are able,” said Metro spokesman Dan Stessel.
The Circulator will also be running on limited service tomorrow on two routes. The Georgetown-Union Station and Woodley Park-Adams Morgan-McPherson Square routes will be operating on 20-minute headways from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. “DC Circulator is following the service resumption plan announced by WMATA for Metrobus earlier today,” DDOT said in a release.

Bus service will start at 12 p.m. on 22 “lifeline service” routes only. “Many of these routes will operate on snow emergency routes only to keep vehicles off hilly terrain, narrow side streets and other problem areas,” Metro said. Trips will originate at :00 and :30 each hour, and the last trips of the day will depart at 5 p.m. Bus fares will also be free.
