Train safety is important to ensure a safe trip. People should pack light luggage that is easy to carry, avoid changing trains at night, use money belts and purses to securely carry valuables, and pay attention to announcements and signs on the train platform. While on the train, passengers should keep their luggage with them at all times, avoid dangerous items, move safely by holding seats as the train moves, and not accept food from strangers. Ensuring train safety involves both infrastructure that makes trains structurally sound and guidelines for passengers to follow to avoid accidents, theft or harm.
