If the police and news reporters say it's not safe to travel please don't do so unless you really need to.
How to travel using public transportation safely in the winter:1. Wear the proper winter clothing (coat, jacket, woolen hat, mitts, gloves, wool socks, winter boots etc..)
2. bring a snack and a bottle of water.
3. Bring your bus ticket/ bus pass.
4. Have an alternate ride planned just in case your bus/ train or ferry is late or fails to show.
5. Tell someone you trust where you are going and when you plan to return.
6. Allow for extra time to travel to your destination.
7. Carry a fully charged cell phone.
8. Bring something to entertain you- this may help you stay calm.
9. Be patient.
10. Be patient with your driver. They are dealing with some very dangerous road conditions. They are working hard to make sure you and the other passengers stay safe.
11. Bring money so that you can find another way to get to your destination, buy some food, or make phone calls should you need to do so.

* Note: I'm aware that I am missing some contact information for taxi and public transit companies. The reason I am missing that is because I want to give you all links to companies that I know actually do provide service. I have visited the USA but I don't live there. When I was visiting I never used a taxi. But I do believe you have every right to find a taxi should you need it. That is why I am suggesting you find your local taxi and public transit companies contact information using the websites below.
