Safety While Using Public Transportation:

• If waiting for a bus or taxi make sure you are around something to balance you (e.g. benches, light poles, etc.), even better if there is a place inside for you to wait.
• Stay awake while riding buses, trains and taxis.
• Keep your belongings on you. Purses over your shoulder, larger bags between your legs as you sit, etc.
• Sit near the driver and door on buses.
• Always take an aisle seat so you won't be blocked in.
• Try to ride in a train or subway car with other people, rather than one that is empty.
• Pay attention to who gets off at your stop.
