Courtesy is contagious, but as we get caught up in our daily
commute we often forget to consider the comfort of our fellow commuters. This
includes cell phone usage, placing items on the seat next to you, and the use
of perfumes and colognes. To ensure that everyone has a safe and pleasant trip,
please be aware of the following rules:
- Passengers must allow conductors, or any authorized
representative, to inspect all tickets or cash fare receipts upon request.
Tickets may be inspected more than once during a trip. Tickets must be
removed from any carrying case if requested by the conductor.
- No seats are reserved on MARC Trains. Please do not
inconvenience others by holding or blocking seats with parcels, clothing
or other items.
- Most railcars contain designated seating for senior
citizens and passengers with disabilities. These seats must be provided to
these persons if requested.
- Smoking is prohibited (includes electronic cigarettes)
onboard MARC Trains or inside MTA owned stations, waiting areas, or on
MTA-owned or leased platforms. Amtrak policies apply at Amtrak owned
stations (Washington, New Carrollton, BWI Marshall Airport and Baltimore
Penn Station).
- Do not stand in aisles when seats are available.
Standing is never allowed on stairs or in vestibules. Please allow the
conductors to walk through the cars for ticket collection, or any
emergencies that may arise.
- Improper conduct, intoxication, offensive actions or
language that is objectionable to other passengers and/or the train crew,
or is disruptive to the safe operation of the train is not permitted.
