One thing that’s very clear to me after this year’s #TranspoBINGO - having taken more trips from one end of a line to the other (e.g., Takoma to Branch Ave, Congress Heights, Crystal City) is that Metro is vastly superior to driving for long distances across DC. Green line keeping it tight. 💚

Holding myself accountable for my final #TranspoBINGO square joining Ward 8 Woods for a productive cleanup! Bonus: heading to Sycamore and Oak after for crab fries and running into several friends! Because Transpo is for Lovers and supporting small businesses.

I marked my Transpo to a New to You Park for this cleanup, using a tree emoji.

This was second year playing #TranspoBINGO and I loved every single minute of it. This game really challenged me to use different modes of public transit and to explore our region to the fullest. I had fun celebrating wins and prizes with everyone at metrobar yesterday. 🩵 ( :

Inclusive and accessible public transit/spaces and services are radical. (They shouldn't be. But they are.)

I decided a commute to DC for the final #transpoBINGO happy hour was beyond even my can-do transit attitude. So for my final square this week, I walked over to the shop for some wine. I’m with you all in spirit(s)! Maybe next year we’ll do a satellite happy hour!

For #TranspoBingo pop culture, I present to you this metro map from the TV "Leverage". It's so delightfully wrong. Wheaton is next to Capitol South. transitmap.net/leverage-dc/

Just good enough to pass for the real thing when fleetingly seen in the background of a TV show. The map uses real DC Metro station names, but they’re all in the wrong places. The “corporate identi…
