About Rewind
What is Metro Rewind?
This year, Metro Rewind draws inspiration from the past, the present, and the pulse that moves through the entire DMV.
The collages are built around a simple idea: the DMV is a tapestry of cultures, neighborhoods, and moments, and Metro is the thread that ties it all together. We set out to create an experience that blends your personal data with the sights and scenes only a true DMVer would recognize.
Throughout the year, we collect your transit data to build a snapshot of your journey, including your total trips, your top stations, and more. The result is an experience unlike anything else. These collages are not just visuals; they are expressions of a place and a people you will not find anywhere but here.

FAQs
What is Metro Rewind?
Metro Rewind is a look back at your year riding Metro using a variety of data points. Using a full year of your data points from Jan 1. to Dec. 31, you can see how you measure up to other Metro customers. It's meant to be fun, enlightening, and shared.
How does it work?
Using up to four (4) SmarTrip IDs, we are able to gather data about how you use the Metro system. Sorry, we can't pull data based on credit or debit card usage at this time. We take this data and sort it into different categories that we then present to you in this digital experience. Some data is precise while other data is based on averages. For example, since customers only tap once when riding Metro Bus, we use all available data to make the best possible estimate and provide you with a complete, consistent experience. Note, when using multiple cards some advanced calculations may be based only on the card with the most activity.
Tips
For the best on-the-go experience, we recommend accessing Rewind on your phone as it's optimized for mobile viewing and provides a seamless user interface on smaller screens. If you are using a desktop or laptop computer to view Rewind, make sure your web browser window is fully visible and unobscured by taskbars or other apps.
What do I need to play?
All you need is a registered digital or physical SmarTrip, Senior SmarTrip, or Kids Ride Free card. To get the full experience, you need a minimum of 10 Metro Rail trips on the same card. If you have less than 10 rail trips, you will see the stats of the entire Metro system instead of a personalized experience. It's still cool, but the more you ride, the more data we'll have to give you a fun and entertaining experience about your riding habits.
I don't have a SmarTrip card
That's ok! Curious to see Metro's overall stats? Check out the full breakdown here!
Are you using data from the old or the new bus network?
We will be using the data from both bus networks.
