Station Tips

  • Buy tickets online so you don't have to wait for a station agent or Ticket Kiosk machine.
  • Some stations require paid or validated parking so arrive early to allow enough time.
  • Bike parking is available at all stations, so if you don't need your bike at your destination consider securing it at the station instead of bringing it on board.
  • Many stations have convenient connections to other transit providers. Be sure to ask the conductor for up to two transit transfers.
  • While waiting on the platform, be safe and stand behind the yellow line.
  • Only cross to another platform at designated crossings.
