9 - Public Transportation Options
Before you make any plans to use public transportation to attend an EagleBank Arena event, be sure to check the times that trains or buses stop running for your return trip, as it is possible that a given show might end after the last run. There is no public transportation that departs directly from EagleBank Arena after any event.
​
The arena is indirectly accessible through public transportation.
Take Metro’s Orange line train to the Vienna station. From there you have a few options:
​
You can take the CUE bus from the station to George Mason University. The CUE bus stop is on the opposite side of campus from EagleBank Arena, but it is a quick 5-10 minute walk across campus following the signs to the arena. Please visit the CUE bus website here.
​
Lastly you can always take a cab from the Vienna station to EagleBank Arena. This is probably the costliest option, but possibly the quickest. It is easy to find a cab at the Metro station to get to the arena, but you will have to make arrangements for the return trip. There are no cabs available and waiting outside at our venue when a show ends to bring patrons back to the Metro station.
