Washington, D.C.'s Metro is no longer considering separate trains for protesters attending the white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally on Aug. 12.
“Metro will not be providing a special train or special car for anyone next Sunday,” Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans told The Washington Post on Saturday.
Reports emerged last week that Metro officials were considering providing separate trains for those attending the "white civil rights" rally, citing safety concerns.
Metro's largest union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, told a local NBC affiliate that this would amount to "giving special accommodation to hate groups and hate speech."
