Alexandria Offers Free Weekend Shuttle Bus Service in Old Town

The fun side of the Potomac is even “closer” to the nation’s capital with Dash About, Alexandria’s free weekend shuttle bus service that operates all year round.

Alexandria’s Transit Company (DASH), in partnership with the Alexandria Convention and Visitors Center Association, offers free weekend shuttle bus service from the King Street Metrorail Station to Market Square in Old Town, Alexandria. The bus stops frequently along King Street and anyone can hop on and off at any Dash About stop and enjoy all that Old Town has to offer.

The colorfully wrapped Dash About busses can be found at the King Street Metro or at Dash About bus stops along King Street. Hours of operation are 7 pm to midnight on Fridays; Saturdays from 10 am until midnight; and Sundays from 11 am until 10 pm.
