ALEXANDRIA, VA - Ridership on DASH and Metro Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels
November 14, 2025 - 04:47
At last night’s City Council meeting, officials announced that combined ridership on DASH buses and Metro trains has now surpassed levels seen in 2019. This significant milestone highlights the growing popularity of public transportation in Alexandria, as residents increasingly embrace the convenience of the “Tap and Go” technology. This innovative system allows riders to quickly and easily pay their fares with a simple tap, streamlining the boarding process and enhancing the overall travel experience.
City officials expressed their enthusiasm for the rising numbers, noting that the increased ridership reflects a broader trend of individuals returning to public transit as they resume their daily commutes and activities. In addition to the success of the DASH and Metro systems, plans are underway to extend the “Tap and Go” technology to parking garages throughout the city. This move aims to further simplify the parking experience for residents and visitors alike, making it easier to navigate Alexandria’s vibrant urban environment.
