What You'll Need
- Paper or notes app

- Local transit website or printed schedule if available
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose a familiar bus, train, or shuttle situation and list what makes waiting areas feel safer and more comfortable for everyone.
- 2
Write five plain-language code points about giving space, keeping belongings close, using headphones, and noticing posted instructions.
- 3
Add one practical safety step, such as sharing the route plan with a trusted adult or waiting in a well-lit public area when appropriate.
- 4
Read the code aloud and revise any point that sounds judgmental, vague, or impossible to follow on a busy day.
- 5
Save the final list as a personal reminder, not a public rulebook, and use it to prepare for a future ride.
Quest Challenge
Can the group write a code that is useful to both a first-time rider and a regular commuter?
Pro Tip
Keep the activity in planning mode; do not ask teens to travel alone or share live location details for the sake of the Quest.
Safety First
Use this as a planning activity. Follow local transit rules, choose public well-lit areas, and involve a trusted adult whenever a teen's age, route, or circumstances call for it.
