Meet the future Gold Line. 🚌✨ Metro is partnering with @DDOTDC to bring faster, more reliable bus service to H Street NE and Benning Road NE through the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Unlike traditional bus service, BRT combines features like dedicated lanes, improved traffic signals, enhanced stations, and faster boarding to create a more efficient, dependable travel experience while making streets safer for everyone.  The Gold Line will also strengthen connections between neighborhoods, Union Station, and the RFK Campus, making it easier for people to get where they need to go every day. 🚌🏠🏈🚆 Follow along in the coming weeks as we share more about Metro’s future Gold Line and how it will help improve travel along the corridor. Learn more about the project here: wmata.com/initiatives/plans-…

As #WeekWithoutDriving comes to a close, keep the momentum going by finding more opportunities to make public transit a part of your everyday life. Whether it’s your daily commute, a weekend outing, or your next trip across the region, every ride is one more chance to leave the car behind and experience how easy it can be to let Metro do the driving instead.
