By Uriah Kiser

Published August 31, 2020 at 1:57PM

Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and ridership across all OmniRide bus services plummeted. OmniRide officials are expected to ask for an extension of the study period at the next OmniRide Commissioners meeting, to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, September 3, at the OmniRide transit center at 14700 Potomac Mills Circle in Woodbridge.
