Tips for your Safety While Riding Public Transport

While millions of people ride on public Transportation every day is a good idea to always stay alert. If you are a women having a personal alarm or pepper spray for protection is not a bad idea. I know that while you want to sleep make sure you protect what is yours.

Safety on the Train

* Never get on the last car you need to stay with other people just in case. The last car is away from everything mostly people.

* Keep all your personal items next to you on your lap or if standing makes sure you have your back to the wall of the train.

* Always check to see where the emergency cord id or any help button should you ever need it you wonâ€™t have to get crazy to find it. I do this in most nightclubs or hotels. I never want to be in a place I donâ€™t know how to get out should I need to.

*While on the train make sure you wait where other people are donâ€™t go to the side where no one is.

* If you feel like something is not safe wait for a stop that is busy and get off or change your seat. Please donâ€™t get off at a stop that no one is at. If someone were to follow you, you would be alone.

Bus Stop Safety Tips

* Know when the bus is coming donâ€™t go to the bus stop at night and just wait you could be their along time.

* Go to a bus stop that has other people waiting.

Safety in a cab

* When calling the cab ask for the drivers name so when you get in ask them what their name is just for a little extra protection.

* Its a good idea to have your money and keys ready when the cab arrives you donâ€™t want to go into you bag while driving.

* If your gut tells you to get out just ask the driver to pull over on a busy street and get out. The worst that could happen is you have to walk a little its better then becoming a victim.

If you travel on public transportation allot you know most this. Its always a good idea to be ready just in case have a pepper spray or a personal alarm on you key chain or in your bag make sure it is not in the bottom of you bag so you canâ€™t find it. It is of no use to you if you canâ€™t find it when you need it most.
