An Orion V arrives at the Franconia-Springfield Metro station.

The Fairfax Connector is a public bus service provided by Fairfax County, Virginia, and operated by Veolia Transport under contract. The first buses rolled out in September 1985 as a lower-cost alternative to the Metrobus service of the regional Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. The original routes connected the southern part of the county (near the Mount Vernon Estate) to the Huntington Metrorail Station which borders Alexandria. This area continues to be the core of the system, and is noted for the number of residents in the Richmond Highway area who use the service at all times of the day.
