The 2025 edition of Metro Rewind is live! Get your personalized Metro year-in-review

For immediate release: December 18, 2025

New this year: more badges, datapoints, Rewind merch and your longest Metro Streak

Metro is proud to announce the launch of 2025 edition of Metro Rewind, your personalized ridership report, at MetroRewind.com !

Now in its third year, customers will find an all-new experience with even more data, an eye-catching art collage, and new badges to celebrate your transit-riding achievements. Keep an eye out for fun easter eggs along the way.

Rewind's design this year is a love letter to the DMV we call home and features homages to art from across the region and nods to Metro's past. The experience mirrors the region itself: layered, diverse, and always in motion. The collage style captures how every rider experiences the DMV differently, yet together we form one connected picture.

Metro Rewind isn't just data -- it's a celebration of your year in transit, transforming each person's transit history into a vivid, shareable snapshot that captures how you move across the region.

This year, your detailed report includes:

  • Number of bus and rail trips
  • Rides by month
  • Your longest streak riding Metro
  • Where you rank among all Metro customers
  • Miles traveled on transit
  • Carbon dioxide emissions saved by taking transit
  • Top 5 Metro Rail stations
  • How you rank among others who use your top station
  • Top 5 Metro Bus routes
  • How you rank among others who use your top route
  • Your Metro archetype
  • Option to buy merch for your top station

To access Metro Rewind, customers can enter their 20-digit SmarTrip number on the back of their card. The number can also be found in your Google or Apple Wallet.

For those who might have misplaced a SmarTrip card sometime this year, Metro added a highly requested feature. Customers can now input multiple SmarTrip cards. If the card was registered, you can find the old number at smartrip.wmata.com .

Share your results on social media with the hashtag #MetroRewind. Don't forget to tag us -- @wmata on X and TikTok, @MetroForward on Instagram and Facebook, and @wmata.com on Bluesky.

Metro Rewind is earlier this year than prior years, so your stats may be lower. The data for 2025 runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 5. Check back in the New Year for your entire year of ridership stats!

So far in 2025, overall Metro ridership increased more than 6% across Metro Rail, Metro Bus, and Metro Access compared to 2024 with more than 256 million trips. Collectively, customers traveled more than 1 billion miles on Metro and saved 319 million kilograms of CO2 by choosing transit over driving or ride-hailing.

About Metro

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), known as Metro, is the region's leading public transportation provider, serving a population of approximately four million people across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia within a 2,054-square-mile jurisdiction. With a network of six rail lines, 98 stations, 125 bus routes, and a door-to-door paratransit service, Metro is the second busiest transit system in the United States with a $5 billion operating and capital budget. Since 2022, Metro has completed multiple transit-oriented development projects that have brought $15 million in tax revenue to the region from housing, office, and retail space in our community. Safety and security are a core value at Metro. Over 30,000 cameras monitor the system, and Metro is currently at an 8-year crime low with fare evasion down 82%. In 2025, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) named Metro the Transit Agency of the Year in recognition of industry-leading ridership growth, record high customer satisfaction, a newly redesigned Bus network, expanded rail service, and improved customer experience.
