Safety on Public Transit

HOW CAN I KEEP EVERYONE SAFE ON THE BUS, TRAIN, OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION?

Give yourself time to board, ride, and exit without rushing. Stay behind platform safety markings, keep clear of closing doors, and use available handrails when boarding or standing. Never enter the tracks to retrieve a dropped item—notify transit staff instead. Report unsafe conditions or injuries to the operator or station personnel, and follow their instructions during an emergency. If an incident occurs, seek appropriate care and, when safe, save the route, vehicle number, time, location, and witness information.
