Safe Travel

Although you're no more likely to be a victim of crime on public transport as you are anywhere else, there are a few simple actions you can take to make sure you stay safe:

On the Bus

• Use a bus stop you know, or one that appears busy and well lit.
• If you're going to an unfamiliar place, have friends meet you at your destination.
• Sit close to the driver.

Some educational establishments throughout the area offer a free night bus service.

Dundee University Student Association (DUSA) runs a free night bus service that will pick you up from University residences or take you home whether you live in residences or not. The service runs from 9pm until the Union closes. To arrange this service please go to the security point on DUSA Level 2 or contact 386044 after 9pm to arrange.

On the Train

• Wait on a well lit section of platform, near other people.
• Sit in a busy compartment at the front of the train.
• If you feel uncomfortable, consider getting out of your carriage and into another, or even getting off the train altogether.

Taking a Taxi

• As often as possible, use a taxi company you know, or one recommended by family or friends.
• If you have booked a taxi over the phone, make sure the driver knows your name and destination, in order to ensure it's the correct taxi.
• Have your money and keys ready so that you can get into your home quickly at the end of your journey.
• If you feel uncomfortable in a taxi, ask the driver to stop in a busy familiar place and get out of the car.
