A Public Service Report by
Public transport is normally very safe
and most taxi companies are reputable licensed firms whose drivers have been
vetted, so here is some advice that should help you feel more confident when
traveling by bus, train, tube or taxi.
Part 3 of 3: Taking a Taxi
·
Carry
the phone number of a taxi or mini cab firm you know, and whenever you book a
taxi ask them for the driver's name and the type of car they will be driving
·
Try
and book the taxi you need to bring you home before you go out. Give your name
and when the driver arrives make sure they know the name it was booked under.
If you have to book your taxi in a public place, do it quietly where people are
unlikely to overhear your name and address
·
If
you can, share a taxi with a friend and have your money ready and keys handy at
the end of your journey so that you can enter your home quickly
·
If
ever you feel uneasy in a taxi ask the driver to stop in a busy place that you
know well, and get out
