NOTE: The Georgetown Metro Connection shuttle is not in operation anymore. The shuttle has been replaced by a new DC Circulator route which connects Dupont - Georgetown - Rosslyn.
The Georgetown Metro Connection, also known as the blue shuttle, is an express bus providing a quick connection to Georgetown from the Rosslyn Metro Station in Arlington, VA and the Dupont Circle Metro Station in Washington DC.
The Georgetown Metro Connection serves all metrobus stops in Georgetown. All buses arrive at each bus stop every 10 minutes, Monday-Sunday. The bus stop is easily recognized by a blue and yellow sign.
Because there is no metro station anywhere near Georgetown, taking the Georgetown Metro Connection is the best way to visit Georgetown. Another option is taking the Georgetown - Union Station route of the DC Circulator bus.
