Have you noticed the blue assistance buttons on board our LRVs?

These buttons are located near the two wheelchair accessible spaces and are designed to help passengers who may need extra time to exit at their stop.

If you press the blue assistance button prior to arriving at your destination stop, the nearest double doors will automatically open and indicate to the driver to allow for additional time for you to exit.

Check out this time-lapse of a deep clean at Gungahlin Place stop.

This National Road Safety Week, CMET is reminding everyone that safety is a shared responsibility on the road and around the light rail network.

Every day, our drivers, customer service officers and operational teams work to keep Canberra moving safely. Whether you’re driving, walking, riding or travelling on light rail, the choices you make can help prevent serious incidents and save lives.

When travelling near light rail, remember to:
🚋 Stay alert and avoid distractions at crossings and platforms
🚦 Only cross at designated crossings and obey traffic signals
📱 Keep phones down and look up before crossing tracks
🚲 Slow down near stops and shared paths

This week is an opportunity to reflect and recommit to safer behaviours every time you travel.

Heading out with the family today? A quick safety reminder near light rail stops and crossings.

Hold little hands to avoid separation, stand back behind the yellow line until the LRV comes to a complete stop, and wait for passengers to get off before boarding.

Every year for Rail Safety Week, students create posters promoting safe behaviour around the light rail network, helping spread important safety messages in a fun and engaging way 🚋

A big thank you to all the schools, students, teachers and partners who continue to support the program and help make our community safer.
