The Landmark-North Fairlington Line, designated as Route 7A, is a daily bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Pentagon station of the Blue and Yellow lines of the Washington Metro and Van Dorn Street station of the Blue line of the Washington Metro with select weekend trips terminating at Southern Towers. The line operates every 12-20 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends.
