Metro is showcasing its new 8000-series railcar design at the Fleet of the Future Expo on the National Mall from March 20 to April 3. The railcars feature open passageways and will be built in pairs, with a mock-up available for public viewing. Metro is also offering free SmarTrip cards to District seniors at MLK Library until March 29.
This will be first time Metro has hosted the public to see a mock-up of its newest fleet additions on the Mall since 1968. https://t.co/bJq8k1jEDK
Mar 20-Apr 3 Metro will let people go inside a “mock-up” of its future 8000 series railcars at 12th & Madison on the National Mall. Cars will be built in pairs & have an open passageway between them. Metro actually did something like this in 1968 & President Johnson came. #wmata https://t.co/WafoWbwgte
