Ride Safer
We're committed to keeping you safe on public transportation. From hand sanitizer to crowding information, we've got you covered.
The following changes to service and operations have been made to protect the health and safety of essential workers who rely on public transit, as well as our frontline staff.
- All riders and employees are required to wear face coverings while riding the T. Not doing so may result in a fine issued by the Transit Police.
- Service levels prioritize certain routes to meet ridership demand, avoid crowding on vehicles, and to allow for physical distancing in keeping with health and safety protocol guidance.
- Shared trips on The RIDE have been eliminated. RIDE customers can still bring a personal care attendant or guest on their trip.
- The CharlieCard Store is open with limited hours.
- Standard fare collection processes have resumed on buses and trolleys, and The RIDE.
- Bus operators have the option—with approval from the Control Center—to bypass a stop if they feel the bus is becoming too crowded to safely accommodate any more riders.
