As we start to see larger groups of people ride the train, what safety precautions are in place for riders?
Safety is foundational at Metrolink, so face masks are required aboard our trains and on station platforms. And Metrolink has implemented enhanced deep cleaning protocols including the use of an electrostatic sprayer that mists each train car with hospital grade disinfectants every day, and an expanded Clean Care Crew that cleans, wipes down and disinfects trains throughout the day.
Metrolink has retained service levels and continually monitors ridership to ensure there’s plenty of space for social distancing. Plus, families can be assured that there’s plenty of space for social distancing by using the online tool How Full is My Train? where riders can check any train’s recent ridership levels.
