With a name like an action hero’s, DC’s sleek red and silver Circulator buses provide visitors and residence with quick, direct access to some of the most popular points of the city. The Circulator connects downtown DC, Georgetown, Union Station, the Washington Convention Center and the Southwest Waterfront. The cost to ride is just $1, and the system also accepts Metro’s Smart cards and transfers. The Circulator line includes 29 efficient buses – low to the ground with three separate doors for rapid transfer. To make travel even easier, tickets may be purchased in advance or before boarding buses, which arrive every 10 minutes. dccirculator.com
