Online ticket App/website?

I'm unable to buy tickets on either the app or the VRE website. The drop-down menu to chose the line (Fredericksburg vs Manassas) doesn't show anything. No selection is possible. Has anyone else had this problem or can reproduce this issue?

VRE Train - Manassas Park to Union Station - Crowded? Pros and Cons

I am looking to start taking the train to work (Manassas Park to Union). Can someone tell me how the train is like? Is it crowded in the afternoons? Is it better to drive to work? I just feel like driving and riding the train is over an hour long drive one way so it’s better to ride the train and do something with that time like read a book or catch up on things. But I want to know if the train is very crowded.
