Free transfers approved for Fairfax Connector buses

A Connector bus makes a stop on John Marr Drive in Annandale.

Transfers to and from Metrorail and Fairfax Connector buses will be free starting Sept. 5, the Fairfax County Department of Transportation announced. 

The free transfers for Connector buses follow a similar plan for Metrobuses approved earlier this month by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
