Metro wants help in finalizing the exterior design of its new 8000-series railcars.
Transit riders and fans can vote now for one of three design options that are pictured below. Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. on Friday. The winning concept will be announced the following week.
The designs include a revamped color scheme in a warm palette that embraces modern design principles, according to a Metro news release.
“Metro is synonymous with the DMV, and our customers take pride in the special elements that make our system unique—from the classic architecture found in our stations to the iconic look of our fleet vehicles. Who better than our loyal customers to choose the design that will adorn the trains carrying our region into the future?” said WMATA General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke.
