Planes, trains, automobiles and buses are all forms of public transportation which many of us rely on to save money and get to a destination more efficiently.

For the benefit of persons who might be using public transport here are simple tips for You.

1. Know the route, departure times, pick up locations, and how much money and change you will need to pay. Thieves are looking for someone who is distracted and leaving cash out in the open.

2. Let someone know your routine or travel schedule. If you don’t contact them when expected, they will have an idea where to start looking for you.

3. Wait in a lighted and busy area. If not possible, wait in a nearby store or place where there are people and you can see when your transportation arrives.

4. Be aware of your surroundings. If you feel uneasy or threatened, change your seat or alert the driver. If needed get off at the next busy stop.

5. Avoid sitting next to the door. This is the best spot for a snatch and grab. Sit near the driver.

6. Sit in an exposed area preferably in an aisle seat. This helps you circumvent from being cornered and allows you to be aware of your surroundings.

7. Do not sleep. Thieves are looking for an easy target.

8. Do not put your purse or shopping bag down on the seat next to you. Keep them in your lap, under your arm or between your feet.

9. While you are sitting, look around for the emergency exits. In a panic situation you will know where to go quickly.

10. Don’t attract attention. Avoid wearing or displaying expensive looking jewelry. Thieves may not know the difference between costume and real jewelry.

11. Be aware of arguments or passengers creating attention. Thieves will try to distract you while they steal your properties.

12. if placing a call for a cab services ask for the driver’s name. When that person arrives ask them their name to ensure it’s not a bad guy who saw you waiting for a cab and sees it as an opportunity to attack.

13. Trust your instincts; women are usually good at this. If you don’t feel comfortable with a cab driver or any public transportation don’t get in.
