This weekend, Mrs. Oren’s Transit Page and I are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary!  Mrs. OTP is very supportive of my hobby and this website, and this has been demonstrated in various ways over the course of our relationship.  One of the ways is that as a bit of a gag on our wedding website, I included instructions for how to get to our wedding venue by public transit.  We weren’t sure if anyone would actually attempt to do this, but it turns out several of our guests did in fact take a combination of Metrorail and Ride On to come celebrate us on our special day.  

To mark this occasion, I chose a photo of a bus operating on the route our guests were instructed to take to reach our venue.  Although it is technically a Metrobus route, it is operated by Ride On on weekends and most holidays.  Since our wedding took place on a Sunday, it seemed appropriate to share a photo of a Ride On bus serving the route.  

Have you ever used public transit to travel to a wedding?
