Mass transit, or public transportation, is a part of our daily life. We love it and hate it at the same time. But for some reasons, we just can’t be parted with them. Here are some safety tips when taking public transportation.
1. Leave your valuables at home! Mass transit isn’t a display window. You don’t want bad people to target you as their victim, do you?!
2. Wait for any public vehicle at the proper stop. Be a good example for others!
3. Don’t even try to get in if you see that the bus or train is already full. Humans are not sardines.
4. Don’t crowd near the door; you’ll block the entrance way. Instead, move to an empty space in the middle or at the back.
5. If you carry a sling bag or backpack, place it in front – not at the side or back – of your body.
6. Beware of people who cover their hands with a newspaper or jacket; especially if they are eagerly trying to get close to you. They may have bad intentions.
7. Girls, beware of physical harrasment on packed trains or buses. Some people just do it simply because of the opportunity!.
8. After shopping, put all your buys in one bag before you get on a public transportation. Having your hands full with too many things will give you only trouble.
9. Have some small change ready – exact change will be better. Bus conductors sometimes forget to give you your change – sometimes intentionally. So when you pay in big bucks, remid the conductor that he owes you long before you get off the bus.
10. Get closer to the exit door when you are nearing your bus stop.
11. To keep you from losing your balance, use your left foot to step down first.
12. For the commuters who regularly take trains or buses, better buy a monthly ticket. It’s cheaper!.
13. No matter how you really need to go because of some urgent mission, don’t ever mount the train roof!.
14. The final notice in using public transportation: no smoking & littering! Mass transit vehicles are not trash cans!.
