Subway Safety Tips

Subway Safety

Keep pocketbooks and book-bags secure at all time
Remove your backpack when entering a crowded train or elevator, always make sure that all flaps are secure
Do not flash money or jewelry in public places
If you carry a wallet, never carry it in your back pocket. Front pants and breast pockets are much more difficult for the pickpocket.
Be suspicious of anyone approaching you and trying to distract you. Pickpockets usually work in teams.
When traveling on the subway during off-hours, ride in the cars with the conductor
When waiting for a train late at night stand by the token booth or in the area designed as off-hours waiting area.
Remember that no property is worth getting seriously injured over. If you find yourself a victim of a crime, remain calm, try and get a good description of the person committing the crime and call the police immediately.

To make sure your OneCard works at the turnstiles, please check the back of your card to see that it has a magnetic strip. If the strip is missing or damaged, you'll need to visit the OneCard Office located in Room 126 in the West Building to get your OneCard updated or replaced. The office is open Monday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
