Buses and trams

Bury tram

  • Know where you are going and the stop you need.
  • Check departure times, especially times for the last buses and trains where stations can be very isolated.
  • Have your ticket or change handy to ensure your wallet or purse stays out of sight.
  • On an empty or late-night bus, sit near the driver or conductor where you’ll feel safer.
  • On a train, sit in a compartment where there are several people.
  • If you feel uneasy, move to another seat or carriage or sit near to the emergency alarm.
  • Don't be afraid to use an emergency alarm - check where it is when you get on the train.
  • Make use of CCTV - Many Bus and Train stations have CCTV, check where they are and when alone sit near to them.
