Eagle-eyed Washingtonians took notice on their morning commute that WMATA rolled out its annual PRIDE-themed Metro car and buses!
This week the D.C. kicked off Pride Month in style with its special rainbow-inspired design that they’ve wrapped around one of their metro cars and buses.
This year, the design highlights the importance of being your real self, with “Be True. Be You.” written along the side, along with a cute bit of self-marketing “On Metro.” right next to it, and in the case of the Metro train car, the design also says “Transportation For All.”
Pride Month in D.C. is jam-packed with nonprofit events to aid the LGBTQ+ community, festive parades, marches, bar and restaurant partnerships, and highlighting local LGBTQ+ businesses. The Metro has shown its support for the community by wrapping the trains in previous years and adjusting rail and bus schedules to provide transportation during D.C. Pride events.
The special Metros will run throughout Pride Month, including through the Capital Pride Parade route on Sunday, June 9th.
