<p>How does a kid get from Charlottesville, VA to Dulles Airport other than hitch a ride with a buddy? Also on the D.C.Metro Line I noticed that there is a West Falls Church/VT-UVA stop. What is that? Does that have anything to do with the Univ. of Virginia/Charlottesville.</p>
<p>Typically you would find a regular airporter bus. I know that Wisconsin has several a day from the Union to O'hare. I am sure UVa would have a similar service.</p>
<p>Do a Google search for 'Dulles airport'; I got this link showing transportation options</p>
<p>Looks like they have buses to the Washington Metro system.</p>
<p>oldman, the "West falls church/VT-UVA" has nothing in particular to do with UVA-charlottesville. I believe it is in reference to continuing education and/or extension courses through UVA and VT offered somewhere near that destination.</p>
<p>OldMan:
Here's another link - Greyhound seems to provide service from Charlottesville to Dulles airport.</p>
<p>Cavalier is right. The West Falls Church/VT-UVA is reference to the VT-UVA grad center that is located within walking distance of that stop. If you're looking for a way for someone older, meaning able to rent a car, you may be just as well off at renting at Dulles and driving down, it's about a two hour drive, very pretty too.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>My daughter is going there next year, I asked a friend who has a second year son how to get there from DC. She said that there is a bus, but it is about the same price to fly out of Charlottesville to DC then to Chicago.</p>
<p>There is a bus from Charlottesville to Dulles

<p>Hitching a ride may be difficult for a first year. They can't have cars.</p>
<p>Richmond is shorter drive, but I don't think that there is a bus to the airport.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Thanks, I found the greyhound schedule.</p>
<p>UVA also has "home ride" buses for students, that go from UVA to different places around the state. They leave UVA on Friday and come back Sunday.</p>
<p>Hitching a ride is very possible, with an upperclassman or some people's parents will come down and pick them up.</p>
<p>I've taken the Greyhound home many times from W&M... worked well except on the Sunday after thanksgiving. There's some weird people on those buses though...</p>
<p>The plane is also probably worth looking into, as that would land you right at Dulles.</p>
<p>soccerguy315,</p>
<p>Thanks...found it. Leaves UVA at 3 and arrives at Vienna Metro at 5.</p>
<p>Oldman, If you are looking at leaving from Dulles, I know there is a bus that connects into the metrorail system, but I think it does it at another stop (maybe East Falls Church), not the Vienna stop (which is the end of the line). I know several Virginia colleges run buses to Northern Virginia on the weekends and frequently terminate at Vienna, as it's a good location to meet or to ride else where. I'm just not too sure if that's a good connection for Dulles Airport however. Hope that makes sense.</p>
