Transit and weather: go out prepared

Know your route and the weather before you leave, especially in winter.

Where to go

Your city’s official transit website or app, and official weather forecasts.

What to bring

• A ticket or card depending on your city’s system
• Discounts may require proof of age, study or income

What to do, step by step

1. Install your city’s transit app and try the trip before your appointment.
2. Ask about monthly passes and child or low-income discounts.
3. Before going out, check the temperature and wind chill.
4. In winter: coat, hat, gloves and non-slip boots — for you and the children.

Note: fares and discounts differ by city; don’t assume they’re the same everywhere.
