Rider Tip: Have Your Ticket Out and Ready
Conductors have to get through the entire train after each stop, which is no small feat when trains are crowded! You can help speed the process along by making sure your ticket is out and ready for the conductor to scan. Purchase your ticket in advance, either online or at the station. If you purchase your ticket online, you will get an email with your ticket attached as a PDF. Print the ticket and keep it with you in an easily accessible place, or pull it up on your mobile device before the conductor comes around. Everyone needs to show their ticket, even if you’re a frequent rider and familiar with the conductor. The sooner your ticket gets scanned, the sooner you can relax and enjoy the ride.
