History

1980s

edit

The first buses rolled out in September 1985 as a lower-cost alternative to the Metrobus service of the regional Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.[1] The original routes connected the southern part of the county (near the Mount Vernon Estate) to the Huntington Metro station which borders Alexandria. This area continues to be the core of the system, and is noted for the number of residents in the Richmond Highway area who use the service at all times of the day. It had 10 routes, and many routes serves through Huntington Station. These first 10 routes were previously served by Metrobus. In 1988, The Connector began to operate express routes, to connect to Pentagon station. It also expanded through the southeastern portion of Fairfax.[2]

1990s

edit

In 1990, The Connector took over the operation of the RIBS (Reston Internal Bus Service). Service continues to provide through the southern portion of Alexandria, when Van Dorn Street station opened in 1991. In 1994, the service was extended to the high-technology industrial areas of suburban Reston and Herndon, located between Washington, D.C., and Washington Dulles International Airport. Along State Route 267 (the Dulles Toll Road), express buses carry commuters from free park-and-ride lots to the Washington Metro system. In 1999, the Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride and the Tysons Westpark Transit Station opened, extending its operation within the county.

2000s

edit

After having many buses running on pure diesel, The Connector ordered buses that runs in Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel in 2002. These bus upgrades can retrofit the fleet with Green Diesel technology, so the county can go environmentally friendly. More bus stations continues to increase, with the opening of the Lorton Park-and-Ride in 2003,[8] and the Gambrill Road Park-and-Ride in 2005. The Connector began installing the SmarTrip Fare Card technology, so that passengers can pay their fare using WMATA's SmarTrip. In June 2009, service was transitioned from the Metrobus 2W, 12-, and 20-series routes to the Connector in the Centreville, Chantilly, and Oakton areas along I-66 and near Vienna/Fairfax-GMU Station.

On July 1, 2009, MV Transportation took over from Veolia Transport as the operator.[9]

2010s

edit

Major changes began in 2010, when the Reston East Park-and-Ride closed to make way for the Silver Line construction.[10] After the Silver Line opened in 2014, The Connector modified its service, by providing three circulator routes within Tysons Corner, as well as new service to McLean. Many routes were modified, so The Connector can give access to its riders to transfer within the Silver Line and other portions within the County.[11] On July 1, 2019, Transdev commenced a five-year contract to operate the network with an option to extend for a further 10 years.[12] As previously mentioned, Transdev (then as Veolia Transport) had previously operated The Connector until July 1, 2009.

On December 5, 2019, Fairfax Connector worker went on a strike against Transdev affecting 30,000 riders with all routes operating on Sunday service.[13] The strike joins 130 employees at Metrobus's Cinder Bed garage who went on strike against Transdev on October 24, 2019.[14]

2020s

edit

On February 22, 2024, at 2AM, Fairfax Connector employees went on strike against Transdev affecting service.[15] 401/402 was operating very limited service, but at 9AM, all routes were suspended.[citation needed] As of March 8, 2024, all routes have returned to their regular schedules.[16]

The New Flyer Xcelsior XD40 buses, numbered in the 7900s and being delivered in 2024, are equipped with USB charging ports.

Fares

edit

As of July 1, 2024, the base fares for the Connector is as follows $2.25 on local routes; $4.80 on express routes (393, 394, 395, 396, 598, 599, 697, 698, 699, 798, and 835); $0.55 on Routes 350, 423, and 427; and $5.00 on Route 480 (fare is round-trip).[17][18] Fares are paid in cash (exact change), or WMATA issued SmarTrip card.[19]
