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!

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

42 years ago, DASH hit the streets of Alexandria and we have not stopped since. That's a whole lot of bus stops, familiar faces, and "have a great day!"s along the way! 💙

Didn't want to drive to the eye doc so took @bikeshare.bsky.social and then took my son on the Old Town Trolley and DASH. He was thrilled and kept asking when we could ride again on our walk home #bus #bikeshare #bikeva #alx #dashbus

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.
