NEW YORK – The MTA’s “Courtesy Counts, Manners Make a Better Ride,” poster campaign that has been running on New York City subways and buses, is now coming to Metro-North trains.
The messages on the railroad car cards will remind travelers that they can help make the trip quicker and more pleasant by demonstrating a person, consistent commitment to courtesy.
The signs, which will employ simple graphics to illustrate behavioral “do’s” and “don’t’s” including:
Keep Your Feet Off the Seat
Use the Overhead Rack
Take Your Litter With You
Keep your Belongings Out of the Aisles
Take Your Pack Off Your Back
Offer Your Seat to an elderly, Disabled, or Pregnant Person
Keep the Volume to Yourself
Groom at Home
Step Aside to Let Others Off First
Don’t Block the Doors
“As we continue to maintain a high level of standards to serve our customers, we hope they, too, can help make the railroad run more efficiently by taking small steps to be more courteous,” said Metro-North President Joseph Giulietti. “Letting passengers on and off trains quickly and safely is one way to trim valuable seconds from the time a train dwells in a station while keeping belongings out of aisles safely makes more room for everyone.”
