Public Transportation Safety

We care about your safety. Follow these tips to remain safe when taking advantage of Baltimore’s public transit.

• If possible use well-lighted, busy stops. 
• Stay alert! Do not leave yourself noticeably vulnerable to theft by dozing off. 
• A crowded bus is an environment for pickpockets. Carry your wallet in an inside coat pocket or a front pants pocket. Carry your bag closely, not dangling from its strap.
• Take a seat near the driver if another passenger is bothering you.
• If someone harasses you on a bus or subway, do not be embarrassed to shout, “Leave me alone!”
• Watch who exits with you. If you feel uneasy, walk directly to a place where there are other people.
• If something or someone at your intended stop raises your concern about personal safety, wait until the next stop to get off.
