Top Tips:
- Review your route, transfers, operating hours, and final stop before leaving
- Download the transit system’s official app
- Save an offline copy of schedules and maps so that you can access them to know where you are going even without internet access
- Wait in well-lit populated areas, and near staff or cameras when possible
- Avoid becoming distracted by your phone or using headphones that can cause you to lose awareness of your surroundings
- Keep bags closed and positioned where you can see and feel them, especially in crowds
- If you are on an otherwise empty bus or train, sit in front near the driver or conductor
- Notice the location of exits, help buttons, and staff areas
- Move to another seat or train car if someone makes you uncomfortable
- If you believe someone is following you, avoid going directly home; instead, exit near a staffed, populated location and ask for help
- Do not feel obliged to engage with someone who asks intrusive questions or ignores your boundaries
- Share your route or expected arrival times with someone you trust
