Virginia’s busiest bus route is getting better

The Metro Bus F20, which runs along Route 7, has the highest ridership of any bus route in Virginia. It serves a diverse corridor stretching from the Tysons Metro Station in Fairfax County to the King St – Old Town station in Alexandria, carrying millions of riders each year.

NVTC is investing heavily in the F20 corridor to make transit as efficient as possible for the communities along the bus line. NVTC’s Envision Route 7 project is partnering with local jurisdictions to improve service through bus priority measures. And our Commuter Choice program helped fund the F2X, a new limited-stop Metro Bus service launching in December 2026.

Thanks to these and other projects, Route 7 riders will soon be able to catch a bus as often as 6 minutes at the busiest stops during the busiest times of day—connecting them more easily to work, school, appointments and entertainment.
