History of surface transit in Northern Virginia

Northern Virginia is part of the Washington Metropolitan Area of the United States, and its surface transit system is integrated with that of the city of Washington, D.C. However, because of the Potomac River separating Northern Virginia from the city, the two systems have evolved largely independently. At present, most major bus routes, including all that cross the Potomac, are operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), while several smaller systems are city- or county-owned.〔Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, , October 2005〕 Since the Washington Metro opened to Virginia, most of the bus routes have terminated on either side of the Potomac River, where passengers can transfer to the rapid transit system, or to one of the few Metro bus lines that crosses the river (13F, 13G).〔, Reprinted 9/24/12〕

(詳細はstreet railways until 1892, when the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway opened an electric trolley line between Alexandria and Mount Vernon. It merged with the Washington, Arlington and Falls Church Railway in 1913 to form the Washington-Virginia Railway. The company entered bankruptcy in 1924, and in 1927 the two former systems were split. The WA&M was bought by the owner of the Alexandria, Barcroft and Washington Rapid Transit Company, a competing line of buses, and last ran in 1932; the WA&FC was reorganized as the Arlington and Fairfax Railway and operated until 1939. A third system, the Washington and Old Dominion Railway, began as the Alexandria and Harper's Ferry Railroad, a steam railroad, in the 1850s. It was leased by the newly formed W&OD, which also leased the connecting Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad, in 1912. Trolleys last ran in 1941, but the company continued to operate freight trains (and passenger trains until 1951) until 1968.
