The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (aka WMATA or Metro) has 86 stations on its rail system. A fleet of 1,314 buses serves Maryland, Virginia, and DC. There are 952 cars in the system. There are cars manufactured by Rohr Industries of Chulta Vista, California (1000-1299), Breda of Pistoia, Italy (2000-2099, 3000-3289, 4000-4099), CAF (5000-5191), and Alstom (6000-6183). The 7000 Series cars are currently under initial development. The 2000 Series and 3000 Series Breda cars were rehabilitated by Alstom between late 2002 and early 2008. Buses currently running are made by Flxible, Orion, New Flyer, Neoplan and NABI. Several county owned bus systems also operate in the DC area. These are Ride-On (Montgomery County, MD), DASH (Alexandria), and Fairfax Connector (Fairfax County, VA) among others. Also, the Maryland MTA operates the MARC Commuter Rail system and Virginia operates Virginia Rail Express (VRE). In addition, a bus service called the DC Circulator began service in the Central Business District of Washington, DC on July 10, 2005. On this site, there are pictures of Metro buses and trains as well as the DC Circulator, Ride-On buses, DASH buses, Fairfax Connector buses, and MARC, and VRE trains. In addition, there are a few scans of passes and transfers.
