Metro Ridiculed For Unveiling New 'Swag' Shop

WMATA has unveiled an online shop for "Metro apparel and accessories," and D.C. locals are having some fun with it.

Want a pair of Foggy Bottom pants or an umbrella with a map of the Metro system map on it? You're in luck.

WMATA is opening up a store for "Metro apparel and accessories" at the Metro Center station, and you can shop online at wmata.com/Mshop.

Head to "The M Shop" website, and you'll see a guy in a trilby wearing a shirt that says "TRAFFIC? NAH BRAH."

But wait, there's more:

It's an interesting move for Metro, coming at a time when ridership is plummeting and the agency is more unpopular than ever because of constant delays and issues with fire breaking out all throughout the system.

As a result, many locals were quick to ridicule the new shop.
