Route 798 is on BusTracker. Sign up to receive real-time arrival information.

798

Route 798 provides express bus service from Tysons, Virginia to Bethesda, Maryland. Operated by Fairfax Connector, the 798 is a convenient, efficient, and eco-friendly transportation option.
 
This will be a weekday rush hour service only, with a total of five stops.

Click here for the Route 798 infographic. 

Please note: Due to the location of the stops, Route 798 will operate as a "drop and go" service. This essentially means, no waiting. Buses will drop off passengers, pick more up and immediately travel to the next stop in order to minimize traffic and service disruptions. Operators will generally keep to the schedule, but customers are advised to arrive a few minutes early, and to use BusTracker to find the real-time location of the next bus.
