Thank goodness this station was renovated. If not mistaken it was two years ago. VRE isn't as fast…read moreas metro, but I feel safer on it. The safety record of the train, and not dealing with fare jumping/fights seen frequently at metro stations is better. Does it cost more? Yes yet I don't think it's exorbitant when inflation is factored in. There's plenty of parking here. You can take the train north or southbound depending on rush hour. I like this one's visibility, and also the platform is attractive and well built. The stair climb is admittedly a exercise routine. Get those steps in! If you're in the area, and want to go to DC at Union Station, this is the most sane way of getting there.

The VRE is great! Very comfortable, cushioned seats, quiet, clean, bathrooms on the train, most of…read morethe Time always space to sit. The staff is great and helpful. For a monthly ticket (unlimited) it is about $200 and parking is FREE at rolling rd and most stops. The only reason this got 4 stars is because the train times are a bit inflexible (it only runs from 5am-8:18am in the morning, and 4-7pm in the night), so you are tied to the trains schedule when going to and leaving work. There are also limited stops (listed below). I would recommend to anyone who goes from the Manassas/ burke / ffx area to Alexandria, Crystal city, L'Enfant plaza, or union station.

There can be some characters here. I could be one of them, to be fair to the folks here. Actually a…read morerather pleasant station. Have caught VRE several times here. I do like that there are Amtrak and more freight trains to see. Being an enthusiast, if you are into trains, this is good for us. The station area inside is a little cramped. My hope is they get rid of the old wooden benches. These make what's left of my back scream. There is a lot of good restaurants, along with entertainment venues within walking distance. Am a fan of VRE, so glad their trains are here. Some aren't a fan of the stations age, but I like it for sentimental reasons.

All with your car tucked in the train with you. We were running late and was the last car to be loaded :-| I definitely would not recommend. We got inside and walked past the empty waiting area to our train car. We did get the coach which only has recline seats. It was cool because my back was hurting :-( Next time for sure I'll do an upgraded version. The dining cart wasn't too far and that was good because I'm a snacker. The prices weren't too bad as I went twice for snacks lol. We arrived at a good time and it didn't take too long o get our car. I'll definitely try it again, just an upgraded ticket :-)

My favorite metro station! Its on the Silver Line!…read more I live in Mocoville... and driving to NOVA stresses me out. It gives me migraines and heartburn. No matter what day it is, or time. There's traffic! So much bumper to bumper traffic! However now I can save my wear and tear on my car. Its about an hour ride. Which is fine by me. There's a lot stores and shopping centers nearby besides Tysons Mall. The station is well lit and has pedestrian bridge. Now I can visit my VA friends more ! Only downside is riding metro ain't cheap. Can you believe rush hour ends at 9pm?!!! However its cheap to ride the metro on the weekend.

Be very on your toes, aware of potential aggressive drivers. I get it people want to go to work or home, but please realize others do so more carefully. As for the station, not many 30 minute parking spots. These can be crucial, when waiting on a person. There are I believe ten spots. That's clearly not enough. Platform is quite clean. Like many places with transit, there are some characters, but feel completely safe here. Definitely enjoy VRE!

The station waiting area can be cold. Some people wait above, others below behind walls to protect themselves from the elements. The line used is the silver line to get into other various stations. The location of this station is good for the Dulles Airport. There is also a lot around this station, like restaurants, bars, businesses etc. There is some shopping nearby including a CVS. The station was very clean. The employees I came in contact with were so helpful to others. I ended up buying an all days pass for $13.50, and was charged a small fee for the card. I think I spent just under $16.
