[marmar]

(WaPo) The Circulator bus system will be phased out beginning Oct. 1 and fully end by Dec. 31, the D.C. Department of Transportation announced Monday.

On Oct. 1, the Rosslyn-Dupont Circle bus route will be terminated, and all other routes will stop running earlier in the evening. The Woodley Park-Adams Morgan, Georgetown-Union Station, Congress Heights-Union Station and Eastern Market-L’Enfant Plaza routes will cease service at 9 p.m. daily instead of midnight, and the National Mall route will run until 7 pm daily.

These routes will also operate in 20-minute intervals instead of running every 10 minutes. They will cease operations at the end of the year.

The cancellation of the Circulator was previously announced as part of a package of citywide budget cuts in April, but without details on exactly how and when it would stop running. ..............(more)

1. Clearly they aren't taxing wealth enough to cover the costs.

I doubt that there's a lack of willingness to ride but when service drops below a certain point people don't or won't or can't use it and it dies.
