Hey Paul, I definitely understand your point, but again, can't one already accomplish that feat with existing buses? 42 will take you within a block and a half of green, and 90 runs right past it and red. I do know there are a lot of metro riders who never set foot on metrobuses that might be a little more inclined to ride the Circulator (even though I have issues with the buses because of the seriously increased likelihood that I won't be able to sit facing frontwards) - perhaps maps like the one above showing metrobus routes would help (it is a pretty slick map, by the way). It just seems like superfluous service. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having a quicker trip to Whole Foods, but I'm really not as excited about this line as I anticipated now that I know the route. And once Ellwood Thompson's opens, even that benefit for me will be negated. In the end, I guess this is a nice argument to have - it means that between walkability and already existing transportation, I live in pretty great area.
