Virginia Railway Express (VRE) was launched in the summer of 1992 on two routes, connecting Washington, DC to Manassas and Fredericksburg. Service runs on weekdays only. Ridership has grown quickly since the service was launched, and VRE's fleet is now entirely multi-level in order to handle this high level of demand. Service was extended to Spotsylvania in November 2015. VRE is owned jointly by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission.
