It's official: additional 16th Street bus route starting soon

16th Street commuters, help is on the way. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about WMATA's idea to start starting a new 16th Street bus line from somewhere in southern Columbia Heights to downtown. They've now decided to do that, running what will be called the S2-Short from 16th and Harvard to 16th and H NW.

The bus isn't an express, it will stop at every stop, but still, additional capacity can't hurt. It will run from 7:30 am to 9:15 am and should come about once every 20 minutes.

It's supposed to start this week, anybody see it yet?
