| What should I remember? | Why? |
|---|---|
| Stay alert and responsive (Kia mauri tū). | There are so many distractions when you’re travelling around a city like Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. |
| Look after your belongings. | It’s easy to leave your stuff behind when you are travelling - every week hundreds of items are left on city buses. |
| Listen to music at a level where you can still hear what’s going on around you. | Music can be very distracting and stops you from paying attention to what is going on around you. |
| Take your phone. | If anything unexpected happens, it’s good to be able to call home or re-plan your journey. |
| Never walk on train tracks. | Most Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland trains are electric and very quiet, you can’t hear them until it’s too late. |
| Move seats or talk to the bus driver if someone is making you feel uncomfortable. | You have just as much right to be on public transport as everyone else and you should feel safe. |
| Be careful (Kia tūpato) when crossing the road and use a pedestrian crossing if you can. | Most pedestrian injuries happen when people cross the road and forget to Stop, Look and Listen (E tū, Titiro, Whakarongo). |
