Here are some tips to help protect your data and privacy when using public transportation with free Wi-Fi:

1. Ensure that the Wi-Fi network you are using is genuine and does not require a password.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts whenever possible.
3. Click on the padlock icon in the address bar to check if a website is secure.
4. Avoid providing personal contact information – such as name and email address – on unsolicited sites.
5. Manage your browser security settings – for example, enable ‘private browsing’ or ‘deleting cookies’ after every session.
6. Disable your Bluetooth connection and location services when not in use.
