WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Starting today, teenagers or their parents can pick up OmniLink’s Teen Summer Pass.
The permit allows unlimited local bus rides for the entire summer on all OmniLink buses that travel in Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
The pass costs $30, and when you consider the price of a one-way trip is $1.20, a teen who takes at least 13 round trips on OmniLink this summer is saving money, transportation officials at the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commissions said.
Passes go on sale today at the PRTC Transit Center in Woodbridge. They’ll also be sold at the following locations:
Chinn Aquatics and Fitness Center (cash or credit only), Monday – Thursday 5 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Friday 5 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Saturday 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Teenagers with a photo ID are asked to bring it with them when they come to purchase the pass. They’ll be given a sticker that’ll be applied to the front of the ID, and they’ll show it to a bus driver each time they board, PRTC states.
Those who do not have a photo ID will be issued a OmniLink Teen Summer Pass card with a sticker on it, which they’ll show at time of boarding.
Officials said the Teen Summer Pass also is educational and helps to show children the benefits of, and how to use public transportation in the area.
