From a press release:
OmniRide’s next Service Change will take effect on Monday, July 29. Schedules for Express, Metro Express, and Local routes will change on that date. OmniRide Express base fare will increase from $9.00 each way to $11.00 each way and the reduced fare will be $5.50. The Monthly Unlimited Pass will increase from $265 to $285.
New routing will begin for several OmniRide routes on the western side of the county. Local Manassas–Balls Ford (65B) and Manassas–NOVA (65N) will be combined into Manassas North (65) Local route, while OmniRide will implement new condensed routing for Manassas Metro Express (60).
The Manassas–Pentagon (602) Express commuter route will be discontinued. Route 612 from Gainesville is alternate.
Manassas – Washington (601) will now be Gainesville – Washington (611) and Manassas-Dulles Corridor/Reston/Herndon (608_will become Gainesville – Dulles/Corridor/Reston/Herndon (618). Both 611 and 618 will originate from the University Lot.
Earlier in the summer, OmniRide initiated a total overhaul of local routes in the eastern Prince William County – one of the biggest service changes and expansions in the organization’s 38-year history. In addition to providing service to new destinations, the purpose of the restructured routing was to create more streamlined, more efficient, and more direct service. See details of the restructured eastern Local service here.
