Pros: Everything was great, but our ride was 3 hours delayed... maybe because of the rain? Traffic was horrendous, so I understand. I don't know how often these run this late, but it'd be nice to have a heads up on real commute time if it's frequent. Cons: Driver should announce if there's a big delay like this on the bus. Tips: n/a.

Pros: Convenient! Picks up right around the corner from my house in Alexandria!! Cons: Timing! No traffic and an hour late??? They switched drivers and pulled over somewhere random. No mention of getting in late. Tips: If you are on a time crunch, plan ahead on what bus you take.

City Information

Alexandria

Alexandria is a charming, historic city in Virginia, located just a few miles south of Washington, D.C., on the Potomac River. Alexandria's Old Town entrances visitors with its preserved brick sidewalks and 18th-century homes and buildings; you'll feel transported to the era of the city's founding in 1749. This quarter, especially along King Street, features boutiques, restaurants, and antique shops in quaint, intimate settings.

Thanks to its vicinity to the capital, Alexandria boasts a unique food scene with many high-class restaurants for you to enjoy. The most popular local establishments include The Warehouse, Chart House, and Chadwicks. You can even dine in Gadsby's Tavern, a favorite of some of the nation's founders in the 1780s, and learn more about early American life in the adjacent Gadsby's Tavern Museum.

Washington, D.C. and all its travel connections are only a water taxi away, but the city is also well-served by transportation options directly out of Alexandria. Intercity Amtrak routes regularly arrive at Alexandria Union Station, including the Northeast Regional, Silver Service, Crescent, Cardinal, and Carolinian. The two nearest airports to the city are the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the Washington Dulles International Airport.
