Every day thousands of Northern Virginians
use   TRAINS     METRORAIL   and   CARPOOLS 
to commute to work. 

Since these systems are modern, efficient, well maintained and cost effective they enjoy continued growth.

 

Virginia Railway Express, METRORAIL and Carpools are not always easily accessible to commuters and they most certainly are  not practical for intracity travel

 

 

HERE COMES THE BUS !!!!  We have numerous buslines meeting the needs of commuters and those needing  "around town" service.

 

METROBUS

Service throughout Fairfax County, City of Alexandria, Arlington County and City of Falls Church.  There is both rush hour commuter service and all day local service.  See the METROBUS SITE for schedules and maps.
In Fairfax County the service is available in such locations as Alexandria, Franconia, Mount Vernon, Lorton, Falls Church, Mc Lean, Reston, Fairfax, Springfield, Centreville, Chantilly and Vienna.



PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY

OMNIRIDE is the bus service for commuters travelling inbound to the Pentagon and Washington, D.C.
OMNILINK is the service for local travel in both the eastern and western sections of Prince William County including cross county service.



FAIRFAX COUNTY

COUNTY WIDE  The FAIRFAX CONNECTOR provides both commuter and local service throughout Fairfax County and to METRORAIL.

SPRINGFIELD  The Springfield Business District encompasses the area from Springfield Plaza to Springfield Mall and all the other shopping centers in between.  When you shop in this area it would be much easier if you used the Springfield bus system that moved you quickly and effortlessly from one Springfield shopping center to another.  Try taking TAGS - it works very well.

RESTON  There is LINK that enables Reston residents to connect with the FAIRFAX CONNECTOR at the Reston Town Center Transit Station.


CITY OF ALEXANDRIA

Alexandria has an outstanding intracity bus system, DASH, providing service throughout Alexandria with service to the Van Dorn St, Eisenhower Ave, Braddock Rd, King St and Pentagon Metro Stations.


ARLINGTON COUNTY

Similar to other jurisdictions throughout Northern Virginia Arlington County operates ART that serves both commuters and provides "around town" service.

The Columbia Pike Corridor is served by PIKE RIDE, a joint service venture of ART and Metrobus


CITY OF FAIRFAX

CUE provides service within the City of Fairfax and to the Vienna Metrorail Station.  It is also used extensively by the students at GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY


CITY OF FALLS CHURCH

GEORGE is the Falls Church bus system that provides local service as well as service the East Falls Church and West Falls Church Metro Stations

6 Comments on BUS - A MAJOR PLAYER IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION

I think this was an interesting topic to write about Karen especially with the price of gas nowadays. And everyone seems to forget, not everyone drives or has a car. Before my kids, I usually took public transportation especially to work.

Karen, the bus is actually quite a convenient and easy way around town.  When I used to work at an office in downtown D.C., my daily routine included a metro bus ride from Shirlington to the Pentagon and then metro rail from there.  The bus was inexpensive, fast and efficient, and most importantly -- I didn't have to drive.

Tara  The price of gas will only help public transportation grow.  Over the past 31 years as realtors my husband and I have seen the need for this coming as congestion worsened.  Except for Metrobus none of these systems were operating when we began our real estate career. It has certainly been beneficial in strengthening our knowledge of the market since we developed our expertise along with the development of the transportation system - we know firsthand what a difference it has made.

Brian  With the congestion on the roads worsening in Northern Virginia our reliance on bus transportation will continue to grow and grow rapidly,  Karen

We are not really big enough here to have a convenient bus routes.  But I wish I could with the gas prices definitley going up and a big diesel truck to drive!

Naoma,  Thank you for visiting.  Northern Virginia is an extremely large and heavily populated area.  I've travelled extensively and consistently throughout the area for 31 years as a realtor.  I doubt there is anyone more familiar with both the development of infrastructure and residential areas than my husband and me.,  Karen
