You pay for a fare card upon entry. There are charts there to tell you how much money to put on your fare card. (Have small bills or change!!!! - everything is automated).

thank you so much everyone! Ok, so I'll definately take the subway down to alexandria and then the train from there. Just one question, how long should it take me to go from gate to subway station? Am I right in assuming that the two stop ride is a very short one?
I'm asking just to have an idea of which train to manassas I'll be able to take. (well, there is one every half an hour anyway but I'd like to have an idea.)
