King Street Trolley returns to Alexandria on Monday

Alexandria’s King Street Trolley, the free Old Town transit, will begin shuttling passengers Monday, after more than a year out of service.

A few changes will take effect once service begins.

  • The trolley will run from King Street Metro Station to Alexandria City Hall’s Market Square, every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays.
  • A new stop at the southeast corner of Market Square on North Fairfax Street will serve passengers accessing the Potomac River waterfront.
  • The stops at Union Street and Lee Street will longer be served, due to a street closure on the 100 block of King Street.

All riders are required to wear face masks while on board, and all trolleys are equipped with driver barriers.
