Personal safety on trains

• Be vigilant when travelling alone or after dark.
• Whenever possible, travel in groups and arrange to be met at the station.
• Openly displaying valuables such as jewellery and cellphones could put you at risk.
• Avoid travelling with valuables or large sums of money.
• Never leave your personal belongings with strangers.
• No firearm or dangerous weapon may be taken through access control gates or on board a train.
• Be observant so that if you witness an incident of any kind, you can supply SAPS officials with as much information as possible.
• Develop a culture of rail safety by teaching your family safe habits such as crossing railway lines at authorized subways, pedestrian bridges or level crossings.
