For Rail Safety Week, CapMetro team members went out along the Red Line to connect with customers, share rail safety reminders and hand out a little swag along the way. 💙

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions and helped us keep these conversations going.

Know the signs 🪧, stay alert 👀 and make safe choices around tracks and trains! 🚉

If your go-to way to pay for your fare is a Ticket Vending Machine, we have an update for you.

Starting soon, CapMetro will begin removing TVMs from bus stations and transit centers. We're updating the way customers pay for transit, with options like the Umo App, Tap to Pay on bus and CapMetro Reloadable Fare Cards.

TVMs will remain at Rail stations, with one TVM available at each platform after today.

Safety is a team effort—everyone plays a part.

Trains can’t swerve or stop quickly, so staying alert and keeping your distance from the tracks helps protect us all. 🛤️

🚧 The Bikeshare Station at 2nd/Congress is temporarily closed for upgrades 🚧

Improved infrastructure for CapMetro Bikeshare! ⚡️🚲🤩

While service was suspended, our Bikeshare team kept planned system updates moving by installing 6 new electrified Bikeshare (EBS) stations.

These stations automatically charge e-assist bikes while they're docked, helping our team keep more bikes powered up and ready for customers. 🔋

And there's more ahead! We're planning to add 25 more EBS stations in 2027, bringing the system to more than 40% electrified stations.

A lot of work goes behind the scenes to keep Bikeshare moving forward, and our team is just getting started.

@GrewalREGroup Yes, this will be clutch during @aclfestival. And you'll be able to check out bikes from the new station as well, not just drop off at the valet tent like the past few years. 👀👍
