96 Bus to Service Stanton Park

WMATA is changing the route of the 96 bus line to provide new service along Massachusetts Avenue NE near Stanton Park.

The new route — which is scheduled to begin June 21 — departs from the current route by connecting Lincoln Park directly to Union Station.

This change will make it easier for Near Northeast residents to reach the bus line, which helps Capitol Hill-area locals access U Street NW, Adams Morgan and Woodley Park.

The 97 bus line — which shares much of its route with the 96 bus line — will to continue to service all of East Capitol Street, Constitution Avenue and Louisiana Avenue.
