minus-squareedric@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNot really odd in general, but might be for first worlders because I apply the same principles even in developed countries: Bag in front to avoid pickpockets. Sit/stand close to a door for quick exits in case of emergencies, but not too close to avoid thieves grabbing your stuff before the doors close. Try to so sit behind the bus driver. They’ll protect themselves first by instinct in a crash so you have a higher chance of survival. Decoy phone in case of a robbery, although I don’t do this often anymore.
