Express Yourself In Groups!
Who Is Eligible For Group Rates?
Groups of 10 or more (if school group: students and chaperones) traveling
together are eligible.
Which Trains Can We Ride?
Group ticket holders may ride any VRE train in the morning or evening.
However, VRE trains are very full. IF your group is larger than 15 people, please
check with VRE to be sure that the train can accomodate your sized group. Although
regular VRE tickets are accepted on select Amtrak trains, group rate tickets
are only valid on VRE trains. Consult a VRE Rider's Guide for schedules or check
out the schedule page on this site.
Where and When Can Our Group Go?
VRE operates service from Manassas and Fredericksburg to Washington, D.C.
The Manassas Line now has trains traveling in both directions during "non-commuter" hours
or midday trains. Please see our schedules to
check out the possibilities.
VRE stations are conveniently located near Metro stations at Alexandria, Crystal City, L'Enfant and Union Station. VRE Southbound service begins at 3:35 p.m., giving your group a full day to take in the sights of our Nation's Capital.
How Much Will Our Group Save?
If you are eligible, your group will be able to purchase tickets for 50%
off the Single-Ride ticket price!
What Will Our Trip Cost?
Refer to a Rider's Guide or check out the fare
information page. From there, you can calculate your fare by using the following steps:
1.) Find the cost of a Single-Ride fare for the proper origin and destination
zones.
2.) If you are planning a one-way trip, divide the Single-Ride fare by 2. For a round-trip outings, use full-priced Single-Ride fare.
