Love is in the air this February—and it’s also on the road. If you’ve spotted a neon glow while traveling along Colesville Road or Columbia Pike lately, you aren’t seeing things. The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is spreading the love by transforming its Flash Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service into a moving Valentine. Five Flash BRT buses serving the U.S. 29 route have been decked out with vibrant neon heart lights and striking red frames. These "LoveFlash" buses are part of a month-long celebration of transit and its role in connecting the community in Montgomery County.
MCDOT wants to see your best shots of these glowing commuter transports. By participating in the #LoveFlash social media contest, you could win a $35 gift card (hear that in the voice of Dr. Evil - "Thirty-five dollars") in their weekly drawing. To enter: Snap a photo of a decorated LoveFlash bus. Post it to Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or X. Tag and Follow @MCDOTNow to finalize your entry. The contest runs until Saturday, February 28, 2026.
"Flash is a great option for those who travel on Rt. 29 because it’s fast, reliable, and easy to use," County Executive Marc Elrich said in a statement today. "Adding a little fun during February is a reminder that public transit can be welcoming and human, while still doing serious work connecting people to jobs, schools, and each other. When we invest in high-quality transit and make it free to ride, we’re building a County that’s more accessible and better for everyone."
