Behaviour and safety

 

Safety, civility and respect for others and property

Safety in a public transit network depends partly on the behaviour of its passengers. Here are some good practices to better travel together:

  • Give your seat to those who need it - pay attention to your surroundings.
  • Take off your backpack - keep the space clear for others.
  • Pick up your trash - find the nearest garbage can or recycling bin.
  • Be respectful - anyone can be stressed, late or worried, be courteous.
  • Let people out before entering - keep movement fluid.
  • Keep reserved spaces free - the spaces go first to those who need them.
  • Share support handles and bars - think of your neighbours.
  • Keep it down - use earphones to listen to music.
  • Keep your luggage close - help maintain fluid traffic in the network.

Safety and operation

  • For your safety and that of others, please stay within the authorized areas. Standing or walking on REM tracks is forbidden.
  • To ensure proper operation of the REM, prevent delays or interruptions and avoid injuries, never hold the platform screen doors.
  • In case of emergency only, you may make use of the safety devices in place, such as those for emergency exits or to stop an escalator, elevator or moving walkway.

Integrity of property

  • Help us take care of REM facilities. You may not affix or carve an inscription, drawing, graffiti, tag, sticker or any other figure on REM property.

For more details, please consult our Official Regulations. In the event that the Regulations and the text above conflict, the Regulations apply.
