WELCOME TO RETRO METRO
The home of defunct, forgotten, and abandoned transport brands.
Take a trip.
Retro Metro creates high quality retro transit brand clothing and gifts that celebrate the lost causes of defunct transportation systems - and the places they served.
​
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind tee (hoodie, sweatshirt and other stuff), we hope that you will find a design in our shop that you (and your friend!) will enjoy!

MORE TO COME
We burned our trolleys, pulled up the tracks, and began a process of unravelling the fabric of fragile communities.
This was not unique to any one city, but a mass psychosis and unquestioning faith in the promise of 'new' technologies to fix things that weren't broken.
Retro Metro is on the hunt for more designs from more cities. We're also looking at expanding on products to inlcude more than clothing. Stay tuned and watch this site for future additions.
OUR STORY
We are united. We are transit. We are gone.
More than a hundred years ago, community leaders, entrepreneurs and business tycoons joined forces to connect neighborhoods and communities across the country with safe (for the time), reliable, and fast (compared to walking) modern transit systems!
​
Retro Metro celebrates who they were, what they built, and reminds us that progress does not always move forward.
