We told you this week that tickets for Virginia’s new passenger bus service “The Breeze” between Virginia Tech, Dulles Airport, and other parts of Northern Virginia sold out.
One of the commenters asked why OmniRide couldn’t also provide direct service to Dulles Airport.
There’s OmniRide. That’s the commuter bus service that each weekday takes people from Prince William County and Manassas to Arlington and Washington, D.C. and then back again.
Then there’s OmniLink. Those are the local buses that serve stops within Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park.

Would a third lane move more traffic on Sudley Road in front of Novant Prince William Hospital?
Manassas City officials think so, as the plan to build a new third lane in this area has been on the books since 2000. Now, city planners will go back to the Commonwealth Transportation Board in Richmond to review some proposed changes for the $7.4 million project.
