Metro releasing holiday-themed vehicle fleet

In the coming days, Metro customers can catch a sweet ride on special holiday-wrapped Metrorail, Metrobus, and MetroAccess vehicles.

The theme this year is “making your ride sweeter" and features a candy-filled wonderland on a bright red backdrop. The inside of the holiday-wrapped train is also decked out with holiday spirit.

Three wrapped buses, one train, and one MetroAccess vehicle will run throughout the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region during the season. 

Customers can track both the wrapped buses and train by visiting wmata.com/live and clicking on “special edition.”

About Metro

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), known as Metro, is the region’s leading public transportation provider, serving a population of approximately four million people across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia within a 2,054-square-mile jurisdiction. With a network of six rail lines, 98 stations, 125 bus routes, and a door-to-door paratransit service, Metro is the second busiest transit system in the United States with a $5 billion operating and capital budget. Since 2022, Metro has completed multiple transit-oriented development projects that have brought $15 million in tax revenue to the region from housing, office, and retail space in our community. Safety and security are Metro’s core values. Over 30,000 cameras monitor the system, and Metro is currently at an 8-year crime low with fare evasion down 82%. In 2025, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) named Metro the Transit Agency of the Year in recognition of industry-leading ridership growth, record high customer satisfaction, a newly redesigned bus network, expanded rail service, and improved customer experience.
