Many of our stations have electronic signs that tell you when a train is coming. You will hear a beeping sound to alert you that a train will soon arrive. The front and side of every train displays the route number or letter. In many instances, more than one train route stops at particular stations so you'll want to be sure to read the route number before you get on. Keep in mind that a local train makes every stop while an express train skips some stops.
Subway maps indicate express and local stops.
Board the train after the people who want to get off have exited. Be careful of the gap between the platform and the train. Never try to hold closing doors open. If you do not get a seat, hold onto a railing. For your safety, please don't lean against the doors.
