D.C. Transit was a public transportation system that operated in Washington, D.C., primarily providing bus services. Established in the mid-20th century, it aimed to connect various neighborhoods and facilitate commuting within the city. The system played a crucial role in the daily lives of residents and visitors, offering an affordable and accessible means of transportation. In 1973, D.C. Transit was replaced by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), which now oversees both bus and rail services in the region. WMATA continues to serve as a vital component of the area's public transit infrastructure, ensuring efficient travel across the D.C. metropolitan area.
