TranspoBINGO Kickoff Event: TranspoBINGO x MBTpubroll x metrobar

TranspoBINGO x MBTpubroll

Get ready to roll into the TranspoBINGO spirit with a special edition of MBTpubroll! We’re hitting the streets of DC for a pub roll designed to kick off the game on February 5 and get you TranspoBINGO squares. This MBTpubroll will start at Takoma Station Tavern (6914 4th Street, NW) and land at metrobar (640 Rhode Island Avenue, NE), one of our amazing TranspoBINGO sponsors. Come one, come all, come pub roll!

MBTpubroll is designed to give you three squares for your bingo card while having fun rolling to pubs in DC. For Thursday, February 5th, we're starting at 5:30pm at Takoma Station Tavern - make sure you take active transit to get there for your first bingo square. Around 7pm, we'll be biking down the Metropolitan Branch Trail, a safe, off-street, multi-use trail to metrobar for another bingo square. If the bike lanes/trails are icy and unsafe, don't worry, our alterative is to "roll" down to metrobar via Metro train. Even if the bike lanes are clear, there is NO requirement to bike for this event, everyone is welcome to tag along with us via train, bus, scooter, whatever you want - just no cars. Also, this is not a strict-timing event - you can join/leave the pubroll whenever you want, no pressure! Finally, after metrobar, take active transit home or to wherever you're going for your third bingo square. See you all on Thursday!

Some recommendations for your 1st square trip to Takoma Station Tavern: Transpo to group play, new n'hood, non-WMATA transit, whimsy, etc. Host will be dressed in whimsy for this square and so that you can identify him (see picture below)!

Some recommendations for your 2nd square trip to metrobar: Transpo across quadrants, local business, new public space, etc.

Some recommendations for your 3rd square to home or wherever else you're going: transfers, better bus, etc. If you've biked from Takoma Station Tavern to metrobar, go juuuust a bit farther on your way home by biking down the MBT to Union Station and you can claim the coveted Terminus-to-Terminus square as you will have biked than entire existing length of the MBT!
