When you are riding subways, trains or other such situations where you can get into various types of sitting areas, always look for the location that offers other people like yourself.

For example, if you are boarding a subway car after work, get in the compartment with others that seem to be doing the same thing. You do not want to be the only person in a car with just a few men or even just one man.

Again, company helps protect you from an assailant’s possible attack. One thing to remember here is just how easy it can be to forget that you are in the position you are in. If you do the same thing every single day, you may not even realize that no one else is in that compartment with you.

It is also important to realize that the same route home during later hours may not be as crowded and therefore it may not be the best place for you to go to get home. After dark or when there is too little of a crowd, find an alternative means of transportation or ride with someone that you know.
