"The Los Angeles Metro sparked a social media frenzy (and probably guaranteed themselves some LGBTQ+ riders) on Thursday when they announced a new t-shirt in celebration of its D Line extension, set to open on May 8. Basically, their Twitter X account invited its followers to 'give the gift of the D before opening day' with a plain cotton tee that reads, 'Ride the D.'"
"And before you accuse transportation officials of being daft, we assure you, they knew exactly what they were doing. 'You mean the Purple Line?' one user asked, to which the @metrolosangeles scandalously responded: 'Nope, the D.' LOL."
"According to The Source, the extension is 'a significant leap forward for public transit' in the city, and will include three new stations: Wilshire/La Brea and Wilshire/Fairfax along Los Angeles' heavily-visited Miracle Mile, as well as Wilshire/La Cienega in Beverly Hills."
Los Angeles Metro announced a new t-shirt celebrating the D Line extension opening on May 8, featuring the slogan 'Ride the D.' The merchandise sparked widespread social media engagement, particularly among LGBTQ+ audiences who appreciated the intentional double entendre. Metro officials confirmed they understood the suggestive nature of the campaign. The D Line extension represents significant infrastructure development for Los Angeles public transit, adding three new stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax, and Wilshire/La Cienega. Additional sections of the line extension are planned for 2027.
