With Metro announcing its purchase of Union Station, I thought the timing was right to post this colorful photo of the Red/Purple Line subway station at Union. I like how the colors are very crisp but the photo also conveys the movement that comes along with a bustling transit stop.
To submit a photo or photos of something transportation-related, post them to Metro’s Flickr group or email them to sourcemetro@gmail.com. The photos we’ve featured can be seen in these galleries on Flickr. Or click on the ‘art of transit’ below.
People who take photos such as the one featured here risk being harassed and intimidated on Metro Rail. Shoot photos at your own risk.
Don’t worry dude, not everyone is out to get you.
People need to stop fearing people. Geez.
You misunderstand.
People who take photographs on public transportation networks, including Metro Rail, run the risk of being harassed and intimidated by security or police, up to and including detainment.
