NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - Dec. 9, 2016 - PRLog -- An internal circulator bus program at National Harbor has launched and is available for use by the public. Three shuttles will run on a circuit between National Harbor, Gaylord National, Tanger Outlets and MGM with service seven days a week, 365 days a year.  Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. and the cost is $5 for an all-day pass.  Passes may be purchased via cash, credit card or pre-purchased vouchers available online or from the Mariner Garage Circulator Shuttle Management Office or at approved National Harbor retailers (visit www.NationalHarbor.com to find retailers.)

The circulator is operated by Reston Limousine at a cost of $1 million annually.  In addition to the cost of the circulator, National Harbor and its partners have invested more than $10 million in road improvements to improve traffic flow in advance of the MGM National Harbor opening on Dec. 8.  National Harbor executives and employees have worked diligently with local officials, law enforcement and prime stakeholders on traffic planning.  In addition, Metro opened a new bus route this fall from Alexandria to National Harbor.

"We have been working closely with local officials and law enforcement to do everything in our power to anticipate, mitigate and respond to any traffic situations that may arise during the opening of MGM," said Kent Digby, senior vice president of operations at National Harbor. "We are doing whatever we can to ensure that traffic flows smoothly and the newly commissioned Command Center will be fully staffed to monitor and respond as conditions warrant." He also added that, "When unique, new places open such as the MGM casino, people want to be there so we just ask the public to plan ahead, come early, stay late and bring their patience with them."  With many unique retail shops, an art walk, holiday displays and 40 restaurants at National Harbor, there are a lot things to do for those who arrive early."
