Ribbon-Cutting Held for New Loudoun to Tysons Corner Bus Service

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held today at the Leesburg Park and Ride lot to mark the launch of the new Loudoun to Tysons Corner bus service, which begins this coming Monday, June 21.

The new service will help commuters avoid traffic congestion during the construction of Metrorail to Dulles and the I-495 Capital Beltway High Occupancy Toll lanes.

The Tysons Express Loudoun service includes four new commuter coach buses with free WiFi. The buses will travel on the Dulles Greenway and the Dulles Airport Access Road for a scheduled 45-minute ride from Leesburg to the first bus stop in Tysons Corner.  Once in Tysons, commuters can take advantage of the free Tysons Connector shuttle service.

The Tysons Connector makes stops at major employers, retailers and businesses every ten minutes between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. weekdays.

The Loudoun to Tysons Express Bus Service is managed by the Loudoun County Office of Transportation Services and funded by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority?s Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.
