Metro Connection and Bus
Georgetown has no Metrorail station, and it used to be difficult for visitors to get
to attractions here without a long walk from the nearest stations or a taxi ride.
The Georgetown Metro Connection has been created to alleviate the problem.
Running every 10 minutes daily, the shuttle bus provides inexpensive and con-
