This summer, the Virginia Railway Express Operations Board voted to suspend fares. The goal is to make VRE a more attractive and viable option for Metro riders during the closure of Blue and Yellow Line stations south of Reagan National Airport (DCA), slated to begin September 10, and those returning to work post-Labor Day, VRE Commissioners said.
Fare-free rides in September will be systemwide. In October, they will be limited to travel between the six VRE stations most impacted by the Blue Line station closures - Backlick Road on the Manassas Line, Franconia-Springfield on the Fredericksburg Line, and Alexandria, Crystal City, L'Enfant, and Union Station on both lines.
