Avoid
Rush Hour Trains: Conflicts can occur between passengers and bicycles due to limited space on crowded trains.
Board
at End of Train: Board at the
least crowded part of the train, usually
the front or the back. Never put your
bike where it could block an aisle or
door.
Stand
by your Bike: Move your bike
to allow others to pass or sit down.
If there is a train or station evacuation,
you must leave your bike behind to ensure
a swift and safe exit for all passengers.
Carry
your Bike on Stairs: Wait until
the staircase is not crowded. Carry
your bike. Don't bump it down the stairs;
you could lose control.
Use
Service Gate: Do not try to lift
your bike over the turnstile. Signal
the Token Clerk to release the service
gate. Deposit a token or use a MetroCard
& roll the turnstile. Pull the service
gate to enter.
Courtesy + Common Sense = Bicycle Safety:
Consideration of others along with reasonable
judgement help produce a safer, more
comfortable environment for bikes.
