Commuter train lines like SkyTrain and Canada Line are very safe but there are always things we can do to make our trips safer.
Don’t Rush – Did you know… that the most reported incident on our Safe Rider survey is people getting hit by train doors because they were rushing to catch a train?
Slow down. On average trains arrive every 4 minutes.
Your safety is worth 4 minutes.
Respect the Edge – You’re not the only one that has seen someone leaning over the yellow line into the tracks to take a picture or see if the next train is coming. Did you know…that Canada Line trains travel at a maximum speed of 80km/hr and weigh 76 tonnes without any passengers? Don’t take chances. Stay well back from the yellow line until the train arrives and it is ready for boarding.
Hang On – Train rides are usually smooth and uneventful but did you know… that every rider has access to the emergency stop button? You just never know when the train will need to stop suddenly so be prepared and hold on for your safety.
No Wheels on Escalators – Escalators are fun and convenient. You know what’s also fun? Taking the elevator! Escalators are meant for foot traffic only and taking anything with wheels on them like wheel chairs, scooters, strollers, etc. can be extremely dangerous for you and others riding the escalator with you. So take the safe route and take your wheels on the elevator instead.
