Claim: A north-south line connected the Washington Convention Center with the Southwest Waterfront, which have bus lanes; but the service was eliminated on September 25, 2011 due to low ridership, thus, a new Metrobus route, 74, was opened replacing the Circulator line (a bus system with 139 stops founded in 2005).
