  2. Travelling by Bus, Tram or Train

  3. Travelling by Bus, Tram or Train - Tips • Know where you are going and where you need to get off • Try and have your ticket, pass or change ready in your hand so that your wallet or purse is out of sight

  4. Travelling by Bus, Tram or Train - Tips • If possible, wait for a bus, tram or train in a well-lit place near other people • On a bus it can be safer to stay on the lower deck as you can exit more easily

  5. Travelling by Bus, Tram or Train - Tips • On trains, avoid compartments which have no access to corridors or other parts of the train • Try to sit with other people and avoid empty carriages

  6. Travelling by Bus, Tram or Train - Tips • If you feel uneasy, it makes sense to move to another seat or carriage or speak to the guard or driver • If you feel threatened on public transport make as much noise as possible to attract attention

  7. Walking to and from the Station or Stop

  8. Walking to and from the Station or Stop - Tips • Think about the best route home and where you could go if you felt threatened - the best places where you know there will be other people, somewhere like a shop • Try to use well lit, busy streets and avoid quiet or badly lit alleyways, subways or isolated parks or waste grounds

  9. Walking to and from the Station or Stop - Tips • Try to keep both hands free and don’t walk with your hands in your pockets • If a car drives alongside you and someone inside who you don’t know well starts talking to you – turn and quickly walk away in the other direction

  10. Walking to and from the Station or Stop - Tips • Keep your eyes and ears on your surroundings • Remember if you are wearing an iPod or chatting on your mobile phone, you will not hear trouble approaching

  11. Walking to and from the Station or Stop - Tips • If you think you are being followed, cross the road turning and looking to see who is behind you • If you are still being followed, keep moving and look for a busy area to tell people what is happening
