Hi there,

Public Transport:
forget about it. You'll need a car.

Safety tips:
Live in a safe area, preferably in a safe complex or estate.
Keep your car closed. Do not leave bag, laptop, etc. on car seat.
Use ATM only during daytime and when many people are around.
When someone is following you, drive to the next police station.
