Norton to Help Unveil Megabus’ Double-Decker Bus Named in Honor of D.C. Residents, Today

December 3, 2015

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will help unveil Megabus' newest "Capital City" double-decker bus, named in honor of District of Columbia residents today, Thursday, December 3, 2015, at Union Station (2 West Massachusetts Ave. NE), at 11:00 a.m. The "Capitol City" bus is part of Megabus' "Name the Bus" campaign in each of the states they serve.

"By naming a bus ‘Capital City,' Megabus has recognized the District of Columbia, its residents, and our civic franchise as a major national and international tourist destination," Norton said. "Megabus' discount bus service has encouraged thousands of people from across the nation to visit D.C., and has allowed our residents to journey to a wide variety of cities. Our work to make Union Station a hub for Megabus and other buses has been vindicated by the increase in bus riders who now wait in comfort to board buses. I appreciate that Megabus has included the District in its ‘Name the Bus' campaign."
