First, look at the train map. The map has bright colored lines.
Each line shows where the train goes. Find your station on the map.
A station is where the train stops. It looks like a dot on the line.
Next, look at the train schedule. A schedule is a list of times.
Find the name of your station. Look at the numbers next to it.
Those numbers tell you when the train comes. For example, it might say nine o'clock.
This means the train will arrive at nine. Be sure to get there a little early!

Then, step onto the train. Find a seat and enjoy your ride!
