VRE offers discount for riders to commute via Amtrak during Metrorail summer closures

by | May 9, 2019 | Traffic

From VRE:

While VRE is unable to run additional or longer trains, it will free up space on its trains for new riders, particularly those boarding at Franconia-Springfield or Alexandria, by giving passengers with multi-ride tickets (Monthly, 5-Day, 10-Ride, and Transit Link Card) the option to use any of 12 Amtrak trains listed on the current VRE schedule. VRE is partnering with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and Amtrak on this project.


Virginia’s only commuter rail service, VRE runs trains northbound into DC in the morning and southbound along two lines, one to Fredericksburg and the other to Manassas, in the evening. Trains on both lines stop at Union Station, L’Enfant, Crystal City, and Alexandria. Only Fredericksburg Line trains stop at Franconia-Springfield. VRE supports and accepts employer-sponsored transit benefits.
