Safety Using Public Transportation

•  When using the bus or train, be sure to have your fare out and ready before you leave home, the office or the store.

•    Plan your route to board and exit from the busiest, well-lighted stops, when possible. If you must wait, stay close to the attendant’s stand or in the best-lighted area available.

•    Keep your purse, shopping bag, backpack, etc. in your lap, on your arm or between your feet, not on an empty seat.

•    Sit near the driver, the operator or near an exit, but not right next to the door. Don’t let yourself doze off on a bus or train. It will make you an easy target.
