Going on Holiday on a Tight Budget?
We at Safeway Taxi Corporation have decided to write this blog on how to be safe using a cheap transportation service. Most people are encouraged to use public transport as an alternative to using taxis as most of the time it is a cheaper, more efficient and environmentally friendly way to travel. In big cities that are stuffed full of cars, public transport can take much of the work out of going anywhere, because people will be able to hop off of a bus instead of searching for hours for parking.
However, in every city, public transport can be quite risky, especially on routes that go through dangerous neighborhoods, or when people take transit alone late at night. So you need to be aware of your personal safety when using the likes of trains, buses, and subways, in order to reduce the chances of theft or assault.
The most important way that you can protect yourself when using public transport is to be constantly aware of your surroundings. Try not to use a cell phone or another electronic device, as this not only distracts you but will put a target on your back for opportunistic thieves. Try to remain awake, more so at night, and take note of all the people that are around you and what their behavior is like. When you feel uncomfortable, simply move to another seat. When you are waiting at a bus stop or station, stay in the light, and close to a public safety officer, should there be one on duty. By being alert, you are in a better position to protect yourself.
It is important also to be aware of your personal belongings when using public transport. Try to keep the bags you have to a bare minimum, and keep any valuables and important belongings close to you. Keep your pockets and wallets zipped in internal pockets, as this makes them harder to steal, and keep your bags close to you at all times.
We hope that you stay safe when using public transport. However, if you are looking for an alternative cheap transportation service in the Fort Myers, FL area, you need to call us today at (239) 728-4983.
