<p>Direct service from Cville is not great. They are currently building DC metrorail service to Dulles Airport - I’m not sure when it will open. Once that connection is made, you can connect via Metrorail from Dulles to Amtrak stations that serve Cville, including Alexandria and DC’s Union Station. Amtrak also has service from Cville to the Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington Airport, which sometimes is cheaper.</p>
<p>The DC National Airport is also at a Metrorail stop.</p>
<p>On weekends and during breaks, there also is this bus service from UVa’s first year dorms to Richmond and to the Vienna metrorail station in N. Va. </p>

<p>Because so many UVa students live near Dulles Airport, it may be easiest to catch a ride to and from Dulles from another student during breaks.</p>
<p>There also are other bus services, including Greyhound from the Downtown Cville bus station to Northern Va. and DC. </p>
