Tangshan Seaport Police Tip: "Six Tips" for Spring Festival Transportation Safety

Tip 1: Buying Tickets When purchasing tickets, always use official channels and avoid buying from strangers or private individuals to prevent scams. Also, don’t show your ticket to anyone you don’t know, as this could lead to unauthorized transfers or theft.

Tip 2: Entering the Station Cooperate fully with security checks by placing all items on the conveyor belt in an orderly manner. Try to position your belongings in the center of the belt to avoid them getting stuck or causing delays for other passengers. When retrieving your items, make sure to check clearly before taking them to prevent misplacing or losing anything.

Tip 3: Waiting for the Train The waiting area can be crowded, so always keep an eye on your belongings. If you take a nap, be especially cautious, as thieves may try to steal from you while you're asleep. Also, watch out for people pretending to be fellow travelers who might try to scam you by claiming your phone is lost or low on battery.

Tip 4: Ticket Checking When going through the ticket gate, line up properly and avoid pushing or crowding. There’s usually enough time between checking your ticket and boarding the train. Keep your valuables—especially your phone and wallet—secure, and avoid putting them in your back pockets where they are more vulnerable to theft.

Tip 5: During the Journey While on the train, be cautious when talking to strangers. Don’t share personal information such as your name, phone number, address, or details about your family and friends. This helps protect you from potential fraud or harassment.

Tip 6: Exiting the Train Before disembarking, double-check your belongings in the sleeper compartments, coat hooks, seats, and under the seats to make sure nothing is left behind. A quick final check can save you from the hassle of missing something important.

These tips are designed to help you enjoy a safer and more stress-free travel experience during the busy Spring Festival season. Stay alert, stay informed, and have a great trip!
