Friendly reminders to ensure we travel to and from the CNE safely.
Platform Safety: We expect our trains and platforms to be busier than usual during the CNE. Don’t be caught off guard by a train. Keep alert in crowded areas, stay well back from the yellow line on train platforms. Remember that crossing train tracks is dangerous and illegal; only use the stairs or elevators to get to another platform.
Onboard Safety: Your health and safety are central to everything we do. If you feel you may require medical or emergency assistance, and you’re able, please connect with a staff member who can arrange for assistance. You may also text HELP to 77777 and talk in real-time with a Customer Protective Services dispatcher.
