Who is exempt from ID requirements when boarding a train?

Passengers 15 years old and under are exempt from ID requirements when boarding a train. This policy is designed to facilitate easier travel for younger children, acknowledging that younger minors typically travel with adults who provide necessary identification and oversight. Age-specific identification requirements help streamline the boarding process, especially for families traveling together.

In contrast, older age groups, particularly those 16 and older, may be subjected to ID verification as a security measure, and because teens often travel independently or may not always be accompanied by an adult. The focus on younger children aligns with policies that support family travel and prioritize convenience for those with dependent minors.
