Celebrating Alexandria Pride at Market Square!

We opened up our Pride crosswalks with a little assist from our friends at @DASHBus

Guess what?:

April was a new ALL-TIME ridership record for @DASHBus with 488K boardings!

While it’s great to continue NATIONAL leadership in post-pandemic ridership, it’s more important to help more Alexandrians get around our community!

Go DASH!

Last night we celebrated 40 years of @DASHBus serving Alexandria!

It is altogether fitting that in a year where Alexandria’s bus system will OBLITERATE our ridership records, we pay tribute to the dedicated staff who have helped the best transit system in America thrive.

Yay @DASHbus

I'll ask again - is the city working on a contingency plan in the event the Commonwealth fails to properly fund WMATA?

I am concerned the governor will veto any legislation that keeps the buses and trains running

Great article about Zero Fare bus service combined with service that "is bringing [people] where they need to go". Shout out to @justindotnet.bsky.social, @alyia4alx.bsky.social @sarahbagley.bsky.social, @kirkmcpike.bsky.social and our great DASHBus people.

One in four Virginia transit agencies operate fare-free, perhaps permanently - Virginia Mercury
Many politicians and members of the public have come to rethink the value of public transportation, especially to society’s essential workers.

Great to see innovation at DASHBus, e.g. new route number backgrounds for easier recognition, and larger interior route information displays.

Getting around by bus gets better starting Sunday, Oct 8, with DASHbus Line 33 Sunday service to run every 30 minutes instead of once/hour, serving Del Ray, Arlandria, Potomac Yard. All DASHbus lines remain Fare Free. Thanks @justindotnet.bsky.social @sarahbagley.bsky.social @kirkmcpike.bsky.social

Route 102 DASHbus timing was a bit off again today, with arrival at Douglas MacArthur ES at 7:56 AM, later than the 7:50 AM preferred time for him to be in his classroom. So... he's asked to ride a🚲 for the rest of the week. That will work!

My 4th grader grandson has been "transportation shopping" for best ways to get to school at Douglas MacArthur ES on Janneys Lane. After riding an ACPS school bus, walking and riding his bike, he asked to ride a 102 DASH bus this week .
