MARTA ‘Slide’ Video Promotes Public Transit Safety

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is making rider safety not only easy to learn but fun with its introduction of the “Safety Slide” dance. Almost 13,000 viewers have already watched the system’s entertaining, educational video.

MARTA passengers—joined by Star, mascot of the Atlanta Dream women’s basketball team—learn the following safety lessons during the video:

* Wait for bus in shelter
* Wait for bus to leave before crossing
* Don’t run after bus
* Keep aisle clear
* Walk to catch train
* Stand behind the gray line in station
* Never enter tracks
* Never lean on train doors
* Stand to the right on escalator
* Never try to stop a closing elevator
* Hold child’s hand on escalator

 

One of the 11 safety lessons included in MARTA’s “Safety Slide” video.
