Basic safety rules

Use marked HoHo stops and avoid unofficial vendors or offers near stops.
Keep valuables in zipped bags or a money belt, and carry only what you need for the day.
Prefer well-lit, populated stops after dark and travel with companions when possible.

Common scams & how to avoid them

Be wary of unsolicited tour offers or people asking for signatures — politely decline and move to official kiosks or operator staff.
If someone is unusually pushy, step back, reboard the HoHo, or move to a crowded area.

Emergency & contact tips

Save operator customer service and local emergency numbers to your phone.
If you feel unsafe, get back on the next HoHo and move to a busier stop.
