Hi folks,

Just wanted to hear opinions from people regarding the pros & cons of paper vs mobile ticketing. Happy Friday and cheers!

Text from VRE indicated a police incident at Backlick Rd.

Does anyone have thoughts about the pros & cons about which is better? Surprisingly, the cost is pretty much the same.

I'm going to start working on reviving this sub based on the needs of the many who will now need the VRE due to changes in Washington. Stay tuned for changes. If you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to share.

Things to do:

▸ Redesign of Old Reddit. Redesign of New Reddit.

▸ The designs are actually fine. I just want to update the banner images on both new~~/old~~ Reddit.

▸ Figure out a way to post delays, cancellations, etc. Can't be a post bot. It'll flood the place.

▸ Fix the post flairs or at least improve them.

▸ Create a wiki with information about the VRE, the Government's Trans Subsidy, Parking etc.

▸ Start posting news articles about the VRE. There is news coming like weekend service.

That's all I've got. Feel free to post an add to the list if you wish. If I can do it I will try.

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?

It’s on the top of all the seats?

I need travel from Franconia Springfield to L’Enfant Plaza twice a week for work? Also need to park my vehicle at Franconia Springfield. What’s the best option? How much will it cost?

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.
