  • Be a good community member. Be appropriate in what you post, remember we are all working together to make public transportation safe.
  • Stay on topic. Keep your feedback clear and relevant to the forum that you’re using.
  • Be constructive. Feedback that is descriptive and specific can help us understand your questions and experiences.
  • Be engaged. You can post new questions or ideas, or vote for other people’s ideas or experiences to show that you agree.

Things not to do

  • Don’t be unkind. Your ideas and responses to the ideas of others should be free of belligerence, insults, slurs, profanity or ranting. If you wouldn’t say it in public or with a group of friends, please don’t post it.
