Whether you’re heading downtown for a game or across the valley to see loved ones, riding Valley Metro is a great choice for the whole family. To help make your trip fun and less complicated, let’s go over some helpful tips below.
-
Stop, look and listen! The old adage is there for a reason. Always be alert of oncoming trains, traffic and buses.
-
Always stay off the tracks and stay behind the white rumble strip on station platforms.
-
Is your family known for speed? That’s great! Just don’t try to outrun a light rail train or bus.
Tips for Waiting at a Station or a Bus Stop
-
Give us three steps, just three steps, mister. Just like the song, three steps is all you need to stay safe away from the curb or street.
-
No running, skateboarding or riding bikes until you are off the platform.
-
No pushing or shoving while waiting. Parents, we all know how hard that can be to control.
Tips for Riding Transit
-
Stay together and find your seats as soon as you hop aboard.
-
Hold firmly onto grab bars or stay seated during rides.
-
Keep those headphones on your children if they’re going to use devices like phones or tablets.
