The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) will launch their new VRE Mobile ticketing application tomorrow.
VRE is the first transportation system to offer an app in the area. Riders will be able to use the app to pay for their fares, but paper tickets will still be sold, said a release.
“VRE Mobile is part of our ongoing effort to make the commuting experience more convenient and today we take a significant leap forward for our passengers. We are excited to get VRE Mobile into the hands of our passengers, adding a new easy-to-use option to buy and use fares,” said VRE Chief Executive Officer Doug Allen in a release.
Here’s what the app lets you do, according to the VRE:
Purchase, store, use, and validate Single Ride, Day Pass, Five Day, Ten Trip and Monthly Passes right from the smartphone removing the need to keep track of paper tickets
Use SmartBenefitsSM to purchase tickets and passes
Use disability, senior and youth fares within the app
Use multiple tickets for multiple riders from a single smartphone
Split payment between two credit cards, or a credit card and SmartBenefitsSM account
Create an account and store information for future purchases and manage account information and purchase tickets that appear instantly on the phone through www.vre.org
Eliminates the need to stop at a VRE vendor location or a VRE ticket vending machine
Purchase Amtrak Step-up tickets for use with multi-ride VRE tickets on select Amtrak trains
The app is available for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
