Did you know that you can ride Valley Metro for free with a current Virginia Western Student ID?
Bus service is provided Monday through Saturday while classes are in session. Bus service is not provided on Sundays or days the college is closed for holidays or severe weather. Students must show a student ID with a current enrollment sticker in order to ride for free.
Not sure what bus line you need to ride, and when you need to catch the bus? Use the Transit Icon on http://maps.google.com to find your route and schedule.
When boarding a Valley Metro bus, please remember to request a transfer pass from your driver. Doing this keeps the college from paying twice for the same trip.
