There are several colorful ways to get around town during this weekend's packed lineup of WorldPride events.

Why it matters: Plenty of road closures could affect traffic, so plan your transportation ahead of time.

State of play: Pride flag-wrapped Lime scooters and e-bikes are currently stationed throughout the city, Lime tells Axios.

And rides are free for festival staff, volunteers and performers.

Metro has Pride-wrapped buses and trains, too, and is increasing rail service between Friday and Sunday.

Metro will close at 2am on Friday and Saturday and at midnight on Sunday.
It will open at 6am on Saturday and Sunday.
The Yellow Line will be extended to Greenbelt on Saturday and Sunday.

Plus: Capital Bikeshare also has Pride-themed bikes across the city and will have bike valets who will take your bike if you can't find a parking spot at docks near this weekend's events.

Bike valets will be at the following docking stations:

19th and East Capitol streets SE, near RFK Stadium: Friday and Saturday from 12-8pm
16th and R streets NW, in Dupont Circle: Friday-Sunday from noon to 8pm
9th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, near the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter Metro station: Saturday and Sunday from noon to 8pm
