Travel - Washington DC - Ride the Circulator Bus

May 29th, 2008 by travel

Washington DC is a grand old marvelous town chock full of monuments, museums and amazing historical sites to see and appreciate.

But Washington DC also has a monster of a problem that the residents and frequent visitors are very familiar with and the first-time visitors don’t know anything about - parking.

There are no enough parking spaces in downtown DC for you to park your car and enjoy the day.

Did I stress that enough?

But, to its credit, the DC government came up with a great solution! The Circulator Bus System. For only $1 (one dollar) a day you can really go from one end of the DC to another and see pretty much everything there is to see in the most touristic section of the town, and do it in a comfortable air-conditioned coach.

The Circulator has three main routes, and all intersect with one another so that you can get off from one and hope on the other.

One main route covers the west-east axis, the all-important Mall area and the Smithsonian museums, with the Washington Monument on one end and the US Capitol on the other.

The second ring-route covers the north-south axis, from the Waterfront in the south all the way up to the DC Convention Center in north.

The third route covers the K Street corridor, the business district of DC. That’s where you’ll also find a lot of fine hotels to stay.

You can make your payments in Cash, or through SmartTrip card, ticket from a multi-space meter. Metro transfer and passes are also accepted.

Next time you are in DC, don’t hesitate. Take the Circulator and circulate.
