General Safety

  • Tell a family member or friend your travel plans and route. Call them when you arrive so they know that you arrived at your intended destination.

  • Have your exact fare ready. Do not carry large bills as drivers do not make change

  • Don't doze off or become engrossed in a book. It can make you an easy target. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

  • Keep your purse, bags, backpack and other belongings in your lap or between your feet. Do not leave them on an empty seat.

  • Be wary of noisy passengers arguing or causing a commotion. This could be an act to distract you while others try to steal your valuables.

  • If you feel threatened by other passengers, alert the driver and/or change your seat.

  • Avoid displaying cash, credit cards or expensive looking jewelry.

  • Notify the driver of any unattended packages or luggage on the bus or at the bus stop.

  • In case of emergency, alert the driver immediately.
