This is the kind of thing it would have been good to explain during the weekend, however, nobody said this once, all the many many times I was chatting with them.

Frustrating moment when the train doors did not open arriving in station, and it took 7-10 seconds for someone to push the button.

Also worth noting that many many people are leaving Frederick station by the missing entrance, because of course they are.

I'm very happy to see the LRT running, but the frustrating bits are still there.


Boarding the train
  • Wait behind the yellow platform edge for the train to come to a complete stop. The train doors will line up with the black sections of the platform edge when the train stops.

  • Wait for other riders to exit before boarding.

  • To open the doors, press the red button on the door when the light turns green.

  • Allow riders with mobility devices to board first. Riders with mobility devices, bikes, strollers, service animals or other large items should board through the two middle doors.

  • Don’t hold the train doors open. Preventing the train from leaving by holding the doors open may result in a fine.

  • Mind the gap between the station platform and the train.
