All the taxis and public transport of Cheshire are highly
regulated making them a very safe way of getting from A to B. By
taking small precautions though you can make them even safer.
- On trains or buses try and sit amongst people and steer clear
of empty carriages where possible. If you get on an empty bus sit
near the driver or conductor.
- Try to stay away from isolated and dark bus stops.
- On trains check to see where the emergency chains, buttons and
exits are.
- Do not get in a private hire vehicle unless you have pre-booked
it through a registered company as you will not be insured should
anything happen and it would be very difficult to track you
whereabouts. You may however hail a taxi (usually a black cab) on
the street.
- When in a taxi or black cab take note of the drivers details
which should be displayed on his badge along with the taxi number.
To be extra safe you could text a friend the details.
- When you arrive at your destination ask the driver to wait
until you are inside.
