Shirlington Bus Station
Fast Facts | Bus Routes Served | Contact Information
The Shirlington Bus Station opened in June, 2008, serving one of Arlington’s fastest growing destinations, Shirlington. The new station is the County’s first enclosed public bus station and is the principal transfer point for Metrobus and ART bus service in South Arlington. More than 2000 commuters use the station each day.
The station houses a Commuter Store staffed by knowledgeable personnel who provide information on transit options and sell tickets, tokens, and passes for all the region’s transit systems. The station also includes an indoor waiting area with customer seating and restrooms and a partially covered outdoor plaza.
The station’s five bus stops incorporate innovative features for riders with visual disabilities, including first-in-the-region audible schedule devices. Additionally, the station incorporates advanced information, safety and security technologies.
Construction began in March 2007 and was completed in May 2008. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) managed the design-build contract on behalf of the County. Arlington now owns, operates, and maintains the station. The funding for this project came from federal and stat grants and Arlington County.
