Urban Transportation
New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco have the largest metropolitan rail systems in the United States. Such systems provide inexpensive and very convenient transportation for students. Stay by observing these rules:
Choose a car in which others are riding and avoid riding in a car alone.
Note the location of emergency equipment, usually located near the doors or at the end of the car.
Do not fall asleep: you could end up far from home.
Do not stand on the edge of the platform.
Do not display money, jewelry, or other valuable items.
Keep your wallet in a side pocket, keep your purse closed and in your arms.
If someone is bothering you, change your car or inform the train operator or a security guard. Avoid confrontations.
To avoid unwanted attention, be discreet when consulting maps.
Beware of pickpockets and purse snatchers, skillful people who may gently remove your wallet or purse.
