Waiting for the Bus

• Don't invite trouble. Keep gold chains out of sight, don't flash your jewelry, and turn your rings around so the stones don't show
• Don't open your purse or wallet while boarding the bus. Have your pass or money already in your hand
• Stand away from the curb until the bus arrives
• Try to avoid isolated bus stops

On the Bus

• Carry your wallet inside your coat or in a front pocket
• Check your purse or wallet if someone is jostling, crowding or pushing you
• During off hours, ride as near to the bus operator as possible
• If someone bothers you, change seats and/or tell the driver
• If you see any suspicious activity, tell the driver
• Keep your handbag in front of you and hold it close to your body with both hands
• Stay alert and be aware of the people around you
• A comb, placed horizontally in the fold of your wallet, will alert you if someone tries to remove it from your pocket
