Brendan L

Brendan is an Alexandria resident who lives just steps from the Braddock Rd station and rides Metro every day. As a monthly passholder, he relies on both rail and bus to get to work, the gym, appointments — really anywhere including exploring the city in his downtime.

Metro is essential to his life. The system isn't just convenient, it's what gives him independence and keeps him connected to everyone and everything around him. Whether he's helping a stranger find their way or heading out to check out a new neighborhood with a friend, he appreciates the way Metro brings people together.

For Brendan, tapping is showing his appreciation since it’s what keeps Metro running efficiently, keeps employees paid, and gets him where he needs to go.
