Program emergency numbers into your phone. Always report any anti-social behaviour or harassment to your driver, guard, conductor or to the police. Make sure you keep your mobile phone in a secure place close to your body. When you are out and about, make sure you always have your mobile phone, a phone card or spare change with you in case of an emergency.

If another passenger makes you feel uncomfortable or harasses you in any way, be assertive, and move away from your harasser. Never leave personal belongings like shopping bags or backpacks unattended at your feet. Carry your handbag or briefcase securely in front of your body. Check bus and train timetables and connections to avoid any unnecessary delays.

Be alert and aware of your surroundings and make eye contact with others. If you can’t reach your destination safely and quickly on foot from your bus or train stop, consider catching a taxi.

When you disembark, walk with other commuters. Avoid waiting on your own.Try to wait for public transport near other people and in well-lit areas at night.Safety systems such as lighting, security cameras, emergency help points and security guards (on various trains only) are all in place to maximise your personal safety while you are in transit. Travelling on public transport should be a safe and comfortable experience.
