The cab cars did not come pre-equipped with automatic wheelchair lifts. VRE will add these in the spring, until then the manual lifts located at the north end of every station will be used. Luggage Storage Passengers will notice extra luggage storage in the front and rear of each car. Designed much like an airliner, extra baggage that will not fit in the overhead storage or underneath the seat can be stored several locations at each end of the cars. Included in that storage is a closet in the mezzanine, which, like an airline, offers a larger space for personal belongings.
Safety Notes Our new bi-level cars are similar in design to our existing cars.
If evacuation would be required, look to your crews to provide direction on the public address system. If necessary, you should exit by the doors at the end of the cars. As with any new piece of equipment, it is important to make yourself familiar with the safety features on board the new cars. Below are some instructions and education about the safety features on these cars. In addition, we recommend you look at the safety stickers and instructions located on all VRE cars.
