Taking the train is an easier way to travel and allows you to relax compared to other vehicles. Also, it is safer for the environment. Both the leisure and business travelers need to be informed before riding.

Health And Safety Rules

• Masks Suggested: For unvaccinated travelers, masks are suggested for the entire journey.
• Border Travel: For passengers crossing Canada from the US, proof of COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory.
• Air Quality: Trains have an advanced air filtration system that brings in fresh air which minimizes airborne risk.

On the Train Safety Suggestions

To ensure all riders have a pleasant and safe experience, riders are suggested to abide by these rules:

• Please abide by the directions given by the station staff and train conductors.
• Cross train tracks only at the designated areas and only if clear.
• Take care when boarding and disembarking from the train; the train may not be aligned perfectly with the platform.
• Make use of handrails when walking onboard the train, especially between cars.
• To minimize human error, the train system is controlled by automatic brakes which also regulate speed enhancing safety.

Better for You and Nature

Using a train instead of other transport options while traveling offers health benefits for you and the environment at the same time:

• Decreased Risk: Train travel is one of the safest ways to travel. By comparison, car travel has an estimated 80 deaths each day due to car accidents in the U.S.
• Less Pollution: If you switch from a car to a train for intermediate trips, you can reduce your emissions by around 80%.
• Climate Change: Replacing short domestic flights with train rides can diminish your emissions by up to 84%.
• Health Considerations: Every hour spent in a car contributes to a 20 minute decrease in your life expectancy, due to driver’s stress, emissions, and accidents according to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
