Whenever possible travel in groups. Risk is created by travelling alone.
2
Keep valuables such as mobile phones, laptops and iPods out of sight and stay aware of your surroundings when travelling on public transport.
3
Outside of peak times and at night travel in the front carriage of the train with the driver or sit in the guard’s compartment. Where possible do not travel in empty carriages.
4
Check Public Transport timetables in advance. Avoid long waits on platforms and around Public Transport hubs. If you do have a long wait stay in well lit areas or near open shops.
5
Walk in well lit areas even if it means your trip is longer.
6
Avoid short cuts through dark isolated areas.
7
If you feel threatened in any way while walking on the street go to a shop or a house with its lights on (if at night) and ask for police to be contacted.
