Happy Pride weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

We've got your guide to all things pride happening throughout the city, and there's no better way to get around than public transit!

If you'll be out on the town late at night, take note that between midnight and 5 a.m. Sunday, real-time arrival info on our numbered subway lines will be temporarily unavailable on countdown clocks and apps while we perform software updates. Listen for in-station announcements, or text us on WhatsApp if you need assistance.

And now, here's what's happening this weekend:
