Code of conduct for school students on CityRail trains and stations

Student responsibilities

In order to retain their free school rail pass, all students are to behave in a manner that ensures both their comfort and safety and that of other passengers.

As a student make sure you:

• Obey all signage instructions on stations and trains.
• Respect the needs and comfort of other passengers.
• Behave safely at all times (e.g. avoid running or riding bikes, skateboards, scooters or skates on stations and trains, keep off the train lines, keep arms, legs and other body parts inside the train, refrain from touching train doors, safety equipment or any part of a moving train).
• Use non-offensive language and behave appropriately at all times on rail property (e.g. avoid swearing, spitting, fighting, throwing items; keep feet off seats).
• Respect rail property and report graffiti and vandalism.
• Keep yourself and anything you are carrying clear of aisles, steps, thoroughfares and behind the yellow line on platforms.
• Take your rubbish with you and dispose of it thoughtfully.
• Follow the instructions of station staff, drivers, guards and transit officers.
• Spread out along the platform so as not to overcrowd one carriage. Avoid boarding carriages that are already overcrowded.
• Allow other passengers to alight before boarding and board the train without delay.
• Move inside the carriage and stand away from the doors during travel.
• Do not carry knives, spray cans and permanent marker pens.
• Adhere to the law that bans smoking and drinking alcohol on trains.
