Femate passengers who travel alone at night may feel anxiety when walking from a bus stop to their final destination. (nee Waghorn) WE LOVE YOU Your Family & Friends BC Transit’s Request Stop service will help to reduce this anxiety by allowing them ts get off the bus closer to their destinations, reducing the time spent walking on the sireei alone. Starting Friday, June 26, _ BC Transit and West Vancouver Municipal Transit will begin a six month Request Stop trial in North and West Vancouver. Female passengers who travel alone between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on tite North Shore will be allowed to get off buses at locations other than regular bus stops, on the condition that the operator considers it is safe to do so. . Here are some simple tips to make your travel at night safer: To minimize the time spent waiting at the bus stop, passengers should check their transit timetable or call Transit Infcrmation to determine the estimated departure times for buses at a specific stop well in advance of their trip. ®@ Bealert. @ Be aware of your surroundings and walk confidently. @ Vary your route as often a3 possible and plan it beforehand. @ Walk in well-lit areas, avoiding isolated alleyways and wooded areas. @ Avoid drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. @ Do not expose expensive jewellery, money or the contents of your purse or bag. @ if you are the victim of a crime, yell or scream, but do not risk injury by fighting with or chasing your attacker. @ Leave your outside house lights on. @ Have your keys ready before reaching ycur front door. For details on Request Stop service: Pick up an information brochure from your library, community or recreation centre, FareDealer outlet or bus Buzzer rack.
