Calder
Metro

Five lines. Thirty-three stations. Every train on this map is actually running — watch them slow into platforms, hold, and pull away. Departure times are read straight off the wire.

--:--:-- Calder time

Hover any station for live departures. Dark dots are trains.

Departures are computed from the trains on the map above, not from a schedule. If a train appears late, it is on time by a different clock.

The network

The Lines

Colour is not decoration. Colour is wayfinding.
Learn one letter and the city opens.

Riding

The system is simple by decree.
One fare. One map. One way to stand on an escalator.

Fares

Singleƒ2.60

One ride, any distance, ninety minutes of transfers. The turnstile accepts coins, cards, and correct attitudes.

Dayƒ7.00

Unlimited riding until the last train. The city is yours. Return it by morning.

Monthƒ86.00

Thirty days, all lines, no counting. For people with somewhere to be, repeatedly.

Children under six ride free. So do dogs that fit in bags, and retired employees of the Authority.

Hours

A · Harbor LineAll night

The Harbor Line runs through the night because the harbor does not close. First trains leave the termini simultaneously; the Authority finds this satisfying.

Conduct

  1. Let passengers off first. This is not a courtesy; it is physics.
  2. Stand right, walk left. The escalator is a system too.
  3. Music stays in your ears. The announcements are ours.
  4. Doors close ten seconds after the chime. The chime is not a negotiation.
  5. Give up the seat. You know the one.

Violations are noted.
