- Buy a round-trip fare to reduce wait time at the ticket machines on the return trip.
- After boarding, move away from the doors so others can board quickly.
- Remember the TRAX rules for safety:
- Always hold the hand of small children while boarding.
- Always use the crosswalks. Never jaywalk.
- Always look both directions before crossing. Trains can come from either direction.
- Be alert and always expect a train.
