When Using Public Transportation

When using the bus, be sure to have your fare out and ready before you leave home, office or store.
Plan your route to use the busiest, best-lit stop possible, both to get on and off a bus. If you must wait, stay near the attendant’s stand or in the best-lit area available.
Keep your purse, shopping bag, backpack, packages, etc., in your lap, on your arm, or between your feet–not by themselves on an empty seat.
Sit near the driver, but not right next to the door.
Don’t let yourself doze off on a bus. It can make you an easy target.
