Keeping you safe

The Metro Express is a safe and reliable mode of transport. Many security systems have been put in place by MEL to ensure the safety of its passengers; at the stations and on the trains, as well as for road users crossing or moving alongside the tracks. We rely on the general public to adhere to safety instructions and road signs.

Le Metro Express est sûr pour tout le monde
