WASHINGTON (AP) - Visitors to the National Mall and to Arlington National Cemetery will have new transportation options in time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The National Park Service says a new shuttle and tour service begins operating Monday at Arlington cemetery. The new shuttle costs $8.75 per person.
For the National Mall, a new express bus service will begin operating March 12. It will run in a loop from Union Station to the World War II Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the Smithsonian Metro station. The cost is $5 per boarding.
During the cherry blossom events, there will also be a $1 shuttle to Haines Point.
The change comes after Tourmobile stopped operating last fall after 42 years of providing $32 tours.
