When you are getting onto the bus, stop and look for an aisle seat. This will allow you several key benefits. First, you can easily get out of the way if someone that you would rather not be near approaches you.

You can also be in a better position to protect yourself if the attacker decides to sit near you. If you are on the window seat, you are likely to be blocked in. He can easily sit down near you, do what he wants and you have virtually no way of moving to get out of the way.

Always choose the easiest route to get out of in order to protect yourself!

On the bus, especially when you are alone or with a group of people that may be with your attacker, being able to get away or get the attention of the driver can be difficult if you are pinned to the back of the bus or some place where you can easily be hid.
