Hop on Board
Congratulations, you’re on your way! No traffic to fight, no parking hassles – it’s time to enjoy the ride. Now here are some ways to make your trip even better:
On a Metro Bus
- Watch for your destination. About one block before your stop, press the STOP button or pull the cord between the windows to signal the operator to let you off.
- Check to be sure you have all your belongings before you leave.
- Exit through the rear doors whenever possible; it speeds up boarding for new passengers.
- If you happen to drop something when exiting, leave it on the ground until the bus drives away.
On Metro Rail
- Grab the handrails for stability if standing or moving around the train car.
- Use the overhead maps to help you watch for your station.
- Check to be sure you have all your belongings.
- Be ready to exit when your stop is approaching.
General Safety
- Never run after or next to a moving bus or train.
- Always stand back from the curb or platform edge.
- Hold onto your child when a train or bus approaches.
- Offer priority seating to senior/disabled riders.
