Starting Sunday, Sept. 20, the D.C. Streetcar and Circulator will be restoring some pre-pandemic services.

The D.C. Circulator will return to its route along the National Mall, and the Streetcar will resume its normal hours of operation. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District Department of Transportation announced the news in a press release Friday.

Face coverings and masks are required at all times, and passengers must enter and exit through the back doors of the bus.

“As we gradually and safely reopen the District’s attractions and cultural spaces downtown and elsewhere, we are expanding public transit options to provide commuters and visitors with free, socially-distanced travel,” Bowser said in the press release. 

The restoration of these normal hours and routes follows the recent return of pre-pandemic transportation service across the region, and the Phase Two reopening of some downtown D.C. museums. Circulator routes extended their hours in late August, while this past week all Metro stations reopened for the first time since the pandemic.

Starting on Sept. 20, the Circulator will resume its weekday hours from 6 a.m.—7 p.m., and on weekends from 7 a.m.—7 p.m. The fares are still suspended for all routes.

The streetcar will resume its normal hours of Monday—Thursday from 6 a.m.—midnight, and Friday from 6 a.m.—2 a.m. On Saturdays, it will run from 8 a.m.— 2 a.m., and on Sundays from 8 a.m.—10 p.m.
