On public transport
• To reduce waiting times, know the bus or train timetable. For South East Queensland information, phone TRANSInfo
on 13 12 30 (TTY 13 36 77).
• When waiting at the bus stop or train station, stand with other people if possible.
• If the bus or train is empty, or nearly empty, sit near the bus driver or the train guard or driver.
• If travelling by taxi, have the driver wait until you have safely gone inside the building.
“When I go out with a bit of money, I put some in my purse, some in my pocket and the rest in my handbag so it’s not all together.”
