Dress down. Try to look like you are joining the military or something.

I used to hitchhike a bit. It's the same u gotta be alpha, and look alpha af. You'll probably be safe bu tjust keep a knife in your pocket and if anyone threatens you stick it right into there thigh unless ure real scared stick into their throat and just walk away.
>better than getting raped

Stay away from basketball Americans and in the main terminal, you should be fine

What are you even worried about? It's not like you're going to get beaten and raped on a moving bus with dozens of people around. Just stay in public while you're waiting on your stops and you'll be fine.

Make a friend(s). Preferably female, less risk that way. Don't go anywhere alone like the toilet and make sure you're in well lit areas. Get on the phone if you need to walk somewhere and you're alone, make the conversation like you've got a friend nearby and you're debating seeing them, something like that. That way people will know that help is just around the corner and near instantaneous. Act confident but not naive.

wear baggy/unflattering clothing, don't wear makeup, frown at people, don't listen to music/look at your phone until you've embarked

Stay on the bus. Duh.

Also why the hell are you 19 and afraid of a bus? Little kids take the bus all the time. Just don't be stupid and stop listening to crazy liberal news about 'fart rape' and shit

Thanks all.

I have psychosis, I'm gonna be a paranoid little bitch, especially when people around me keep telling me it's not safe.

No one is going to rape you. Your biggest danger is some lonely guy trying to start a conversation. If you don't want it, just say "I've been up all night and I want to get some sleep now" and turn away from him.

Greyhounds aren't as sketchy as you're imagining. The drivers keep control of any situations. Sit next to someone who looks ok. Don't freak out when it breaks down.

Is this an America thing? Where it's considered dangerous to take public transport from one city to another?

>>18720587
Nope. Read the thread, the girl admits to being psychotic.

Nose down, eyes up, don't get involved in shit and stay in the open and well-lit areas. If you have to be alone, be alert and have something dangerous in reach (pref on your person). Easy conversation disengages are excuses like "sorry, I have a headache, I need to rest" or "I got no sleep, I'm trying to catch up." Commit to nothing and make yourself unassuming.

Everyone's right, you're pretty much fine. Don't make a scene yourself and nothing will likely happening.

Wtf is this? Do you actually ask how to be safe during a bus trip from one city to another? Holy fuck really?

Carry a large, loaded shotgun on you at all times.

.380 Automatic Colt Pistol

Otherwise buy a baton. Batons are usually pretty good.
