Transport: A Guide to Accessible Transport in Bromley

PREPARE
• Plan your journey - think “How do I get there?” and “How do I get back?” 
before you leave.
• Tell someone where you are going, who with and when you arrive back.
• If you can, travel with friends or somebody you know.
• Think about any possible dangers.
• Have a list of phone numbers to contact if things go wrong.

LOOK confident:
• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that let you move easily.
• Remember your body language - stand tall and look like you know where you 
are going.
• Carry a shriek alarm (and learn how to use it), emergency phone numbers, 
some change in your pocket, and keep your keys in a safe pocket.

AVOID risks and be aware of what’s happening
• Keep looking at and listening to what’s happening around you.
• Keep away from odd or out-of-the-way places wherever you can.
• When you travel at night, try to wait in a brightly lit place and be aware of your 
surroundings.
• Try not to change plans at the last minute - or if you have to, tell someone.
• Keep your personal belongings close to you at all times.
• Only use your mobile phone if you really have to.
• Keep one hand free - not in your pocket or cluttered up with shopping.

NEVER take your safety for granted
Never say to yourself:
• “It only happens to other people”.
• “It’s only a short journey”.
• “They look honest”
