All Metrobus Routes and Schedules Have Changed

Better Bus is Metro's initiative to improve regional bus service. On June 29, 2025, Metro launched its new bus network. This is the first major overhaul in 50 years! All bus routes have been renamed. Routes will begin with a letter to indicate the area served:

• "A" for Arlington/Alexandria
• "C" (crosstown) for DC or
• "D" (downtown) for DC
• "F" for Fairfax City, Fairfax County, and Falls Church
• "M" for Montgomery County
• "P" for Prince George's County
• Limited-stop Routes are indicated by an "X" at the end of their route ID and make select stops to reduce travel time.

Vehicular traffic can access Dupont Circle with street parking and parking garages throughout the neighborhood.  Rock Creek Parkway via P and 22nd Street, NW is two block from the park itself.

Dupont Circle is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Washington DC, earning a 98 on the walking score.
