This has “Father’s Day gift” written all over it, eh?
And it’s all yours for only $8.75 in Metro’s online store, which has all sorts of offerings ranging from the popular stress bus to T-shirts.
*’Everyone’ as in every single person on Earth may be an exaggeration 🙂

Metro should just give us a downloadable template of this mug so we can go to Staples and get it done for $6.99 instead.
I would totally buy this if the shipping wasn’t that high.
It’s government. You think they know anything about business?
Metro should probably sell some of these products at the customer centers. And I think the shipping is for a mug, not the light rail vehicle depicted on the mug, so why is the shipping cost so high?
I believe the items in the store are designed by Metro and made by an outside firm.
I have purchased 3 items from the Metro store, two of which came damaged. In order to get a non-damaged product they wanted me to ship the item back to them, wait 3 weeks, and then repay the absurd shipping cost. Essentially they wanted a combined $45-50 dollars in shipping to fix their mistakes.
As a Metro rider/supporter/fanboy it is upsetting that Metro couldn’t use their clout in this city to hire an outside firm that isn’t God awful. In the eBay/Amazon/online era it looks pretty bad when customers have to handle the economic burden of a poor business model.
$11.61 for shipping a $8.75 mug?
Metro needs to learn Business 101.
Why not make a mug that you can take on the train or bus?
Tax and shipping not included.
Or, one can make a similar mug at Staples for only $6.99
