    • Modifications to tickets (such as changes in travel date or route) are subject to availability and may incur change fees, depending on the type of fare purchased.
  • Fare Rules and Restrictions:

    • Some fares, such as Saver fares, may have restrictions and are nonrefundable or only partially refundable. Passengers are encouraged to review fare rules before booking.

2. Passenger Conduct and Responsibilities:

  • Behavior:

    • Passengers must adhere to Broadview Rail's code of conduct while traveling. Behavior that is disruptive, abusive, or illegal (including smoking, alcohol misuse, or violent actions) may result in removal from the train, fines, or legal action.
  • Baggage and Personal Items:

    • Passengers are allowed to bring a certain amount of baggage, including carry-on luggage and checked baggage (subject to size and weight restrictions). Broadview Rails is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage.

    • Broadview Rails is committed to providing accessible travel for passengers with disabilities. Passengers requiring special assistance should inform Broadview Rails at the time of booking to ensure accommodations are available.

3. Train Travel and Delays:

  • Train Schedules:

    • While Broadview Rails strives to maintain scheduled departure and arrival times, delays and disruptions may occur due to factors beyond its control (e.g., weather, track issues, mechanical problems). Broadview Rails is not liable for any inconvenience or losses caused by delays.
  • Missed Connections:

    • If a passenger misses a connection due to a Broadview Rails fault (such as a delay), Broadview Rails will provide rebooking options or issue a refund. If the delay is caused by the passenger's actions, Broadview Rails is not liable for missed connections.
  • Cancellations and Rebooking:

    • If Broadview Rails cancels or significantly delays a train, passengers are entitled to a full refund or rebooking on an alternative train. Refunds or compensation will not be provided if the cancellation is due to external circumstances beyond Broadview Rails's control.

4. Refunds and Cancellations:

  • Refund Policy:

    • Refunds are available based on the type of fare purchased. Refunds for non-refundable fares (e.g., Saver fares) are not permitted except under special circumstances (such as cancellations by Broadview Rails).
  • Cancellation Procedure:

    • Passengers may cancel their tickets through Broadview Rail's website, mobile app, or customer service. Cancellation fees may apply depending on the fare type and how far in advance the ticket is canceled.
  • Refund Process:

    • Refunds will be issued to the original payment method and may take several business days to process. In some cases, a travel voucher may be provided.

5. Liability and Limitations:

  • Limitation of Liability:

    • Broadview Rails liability for delays, cancellations, or any other service disruptions is limited to the amount paid for the ticket. Broadview Rails is not liable for incidental or consequential damages (e.g., missed business meetings, hotel reservations).
  • Personal Injury or Property Damage:

    • Broadview Rails liability for personal injury or property damage occurring during travel is limited by applicable laws and regulations. Passengers should seek compensation for injuries through Broadview Rails claims process, and insurance is recommended for personal protection.
