Virginia will pick up the cost for inauguration goers to ride buses free to Northern Virginia Metro stations Tuesday.
The state will pay eight Northern Virginia public transit agencies to run 300 buses on 45 routes that serve Metro stations, pedestrian access points and park-and-ride lots, according to the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
The free service will operate from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m., though some operators may run later depending on demand.
