FORT WORTH, TX (Nov. 24, 2025) – Trinity Metro is proud to announce the debut of its 2025 Holiday Bus, a festive gift to the community that combines holiday magic with a new digital storybook, A Longhorn Christmas. This initiative expands the agency’s commitment to early literacy while celebrating Fort Worth’s unique community spirit.
The story follows three young longhorns whose holiday adventure highlights the power of teamwork, courage, and community pride. This digital book is the latest addition to Trinity Metro’s growing literacy program, which launched earlier this year with the popular Storytime Train.
Families across Fort Worth can celebrate the unveiling of the 2025 Holiday Bus at the Fort Worth Parade of Lights on Sunday, Nov. 30. The specially decorated bus, showcasing its storybook theme, will join the parade hosted by Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. Following its debut, the Holiday Bus will operate on various fixed routes throughout the season, bringing a touch of festive joy to customers across the city.
“We wanted this year’s Holiday Bus to be more than just a parade feature—it’s a gift to Fort Worth families,” said Richard Andreski, President & CEO of Trinity Metro. “By pairing a locally inspired story with a bus that will travel through our neighborhoods, we’re spreading literacy, joy, and the spirit of the season in a way only Fort Worth can.”
A free digital storybook, A Longhorn Christmas, will be available on Trinity Metro’s website (RideTrinityMetro.org/POL) on Thanksgiving Day.
