What we’re about
Do you study subway maps for fun? Ever taken a bus when a car would be easier? Dreamed of ringing the bell on a cable car? Then have we got a group for you! Join with other transit enthusiasts to talk about, read about and travel on public transportation in the Washington area (and perhaps beyond)! We'll gather for presentations and debates (did the auto industry really sabotage trollies?) and go on field trips around the city on the Metro, Metrobus, regional carriers--even the largely useless but still lovely H Street streetcar. If the trip (on public transit) is often more important than the destination, you've found your group!

Tour books generally only tell you where to go in a new city--not how to get there, or how getting there can be half the fun! Transit consultant David Schneider has filled in that gap with his DMV Transit Tourism website (part of his larger Transit Tourism project). David will be filling us in on what inspired his project and how it can increase support for public transportation.
We'll also decide on our next transit adventure, and provide an update on our planning for the celebration of the Metrorail golden anniversary next year.
Hope everyone can make it!
PS: Note our new meeting room in the Cleveland Park Library: first floor instead of lower level.
