Safety and security are critical issues to passengers and transit employees alike. Various aspects of daily life and travel involve some risks. However, making a ride safe and secure depends on the combined effort of both passengers and the staff. An emergency evacuation is rare. However, under certain circumstances, passengers may need to be evacuated as a safety precaution or to avoid danger.
Police emergencies, natural disasters (flood, earthquakes etc.), fires and collisions are among various situations that require quick thinking and action for avoiding potential dangers. In the unlikely event where an evacuation is required, it is very important to remain calm and listen to announcements and instrutions from uniformed officials.
During an evacuation, remember the basics : Look, Listen and Leave.
