Female Railway Workers in Russia

Risks & Precautions

• Avoid taxis lurking outside foreign-run establishments, luxury hotels, railway stations and airports – they often charge far too much.
• Know your route: be familiar with how to get there and how long it should take.
• Never get into a taxi that has more than one person already in it, especially after dark.
• Keep your fare money in a separate pocket to avoid flashing large wads of cash.
• If you’re staying at a private residence, have the taxi stop at the corner nearest your destination, not the exact address.
• Trust your instincts – if a driver looks creepy, take the next car.
