Travelling on public transport
Always wait for a bus or train in a well lit place and near other people.
When on the bus try and sit near the driver and stay on the lower deck if the bus is not very busy.
On the train chose to sit in a carriage with lots of people in or close to a guard.
Arrange for someone to meet you when you get off the bus or train especially if you are alone. Don't walk home on your own, especially if it's getting dark.
Have your travel pass or fare ready so you can keep your purse or wallet safe in your bag or pocket.
Plan your journey in advance so you know where you are going and what stop you need on a bus or train. Also check the times for the bus or train home – you don't want to find yourself stranded at night.
If someone sits next to you who makes you feel uncomfortable, stand up and move to another seat.
If you have money for a taxi, only get in one that is clearly licensed by your local council. Never accept a lift from someone you don't know.
Make sure you have enough money with you to get home.
