Look for Circulator near Georgetown U bus stop in Rosslyn

Rosslyn said goodbye to its old blue buses into D.C. yesterday as the Rosslyn Circulator made its maiden voyage across the river to Virginia. The new Dupont Circle to Rosslyn route was in full swing for commuters this morning.
The Circulator is picking up passengers in Rosslyn at a slightly different location than the blue bus did: the stop is still North 19th Street and North Moore Street but it's on the north side of that intersection, at the same location as the Georgetown University bus stop. A full list of stops with a map is here.
The switch made for a little confusion this morning, but most mix-ups were averted by a District Department of Transportation employee standing by the old bus stop and directing people to the Circulator.
Did anyone take the Circulator from Rosslyn this morning? Are you more likely to take the bus along that route now that you can use SmarTrip?

This is the bus I take every day. I live in ADMO, work in Rosslyn. I walk or take the 42 Bus to DuPont and hop on this bus from there. The old Georgetowner bus was awesome. Never more then a 10 minute wait, since it was a small bus it got through traffic easy, .$50 each way, never crowded and you were allowed to bring drinks on it. Metro took over two days ago and has already screwed everything up. The new Circulator does NOT run every 10 minuets as they said they would. I've sat at both Rosslyn and Dupont for over 20 minuets in the last two days, just waiting for the bus to leave. At each stop the driver has had to explain to passengers that they only go to Dupont. Since the bus is bigger it has a harder time getting through traffic. This all meaning my 30 minute door to door commute is now hovering closer to an hour each way!! Also, no more iced coffee on the bus in the morning. I knew this was coming but it sucks now that it's here. Finally - How they went from a small to large bus, yet it is now twice as crowded as it ever was before is beyond me. Only WMATA could pull off a magic act like that.
