WASHINGTON — Metro will spread holiday cheer this week with events throughout the region. Community members can step into the sweetest ride in the D.C. area this holiday season when they board a specially decorated "gingerbread wonderland" Metrobus
Participants will be welcomed by Metro executives, Transit Police officers, Metrobus and Metrorail personnel and receive bags filled with goodies and other giveaways at the following locations in the coming days:
- Wednesday, December 13: Pentagon City Station, 4-6 p.m.
- Thursday, December 14: Columbia Heights Station, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
- Friday, December 15: Fort Totten Station, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The holiday bus is also planning several stops at schools across the region, as well as the Ronald McDonald House to get kids in the spirit.
Metro employees provided cash donations, holiday gifts for children, and daily necessities for those in need.
“Metro looks forward to welcoming families this holiday season aboard our exciting holiday-wrapped gingerbread bus,” said Metro General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Randy Clarke. “Last year's holiday bus event was extremely successful. Any opportunity we have to continue serving the community brings joy to us as an organization.”
