Fairfax Connector Modifies Route from Ft. Belvoir to Metro

The Fairfax Connector Route 333 bus, from Fort Belvoir North to the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station, recently modified its route to improve travel time for area commuters.

The buses will no longer stop at Patriot Ridge during rush hour, and will begin using the Franconia-Springfield Parkway during rush hour instead of Backlick Road. 

The bus stops at the Saratoga Park and Ride in Springfield, by the Fairfax County Parkway – Barta Road/Rolling Road interchange, just west of Interstate 95 and connects residents to the metro.

“This is a good change but, as always, we’ll keep monitoring the situation to make sure,” said Christin Wegener, Fairfax Connector Operating Planning and customer service manager to the Belvoir Eagle. 

Route 333 serves:  

• Service between Franconia-Springfield Metro Station and Patriot Ridge
• Serves the Springfield Mall park-and-ride lot and Saratoga Park and Ride
• South County

“We think the schedule is improved,” Wegener told the Eagle. “We’re really trying to meet those VRE connections.”
