Northern Virginia suburbs to Union Station in Washington, D.C, GoVRE is the most comprehensive VRE app, providing information for anyone commuting on the VRE. GoVRE’s quick interface is easy to use and provide extensive information from Station info, Schedules, Arrivals/Departures, Live Rail-view, Train Alerts and Twitter. GoVRE is not just for riders, use GoVRE to track train statuses for passenger pickup or to avoid stations during peak traffic associated with Arrivals and Departures.
What's happening to GoVRE?
Since VRE (Virginia Rail Express) has released an offical Mobile app which includes ticket purchasing, GoVRE will become irrelevant over time. However, I'm making GoVRE open source to provide a community supported alternative.
Is there an iOS version?
I started a Swift version of GoVRE, but squashed the development after learning of the new VRE App. Fill free to begin this effort if you'd like.
