Solo women travelers face a new set of threats to safety, given the changes in the infrastructure of travel. The sharing economy isn’t new, but the problems it poses are variations on old issues. Here are some tips for sidestepping danger:
►As a last check, call the police department and explain where you’re staying. Ask for a quick safety assessment of the area, said Coffey, who noted that success with this measure “depends on who picks up the phone.” But you won’t know until you ask.
►Those properties with rooms that begin on an upper floor also may provide an advantage; you generally must pass one layer of security just to get to the elevators that take you to the hotel lobby.►When you get into an elevator with someone else, let him or her punch the floor button first. If it’s the same floor as yours, go up another level.
►Text someone to let him or her know that you’re taking a ride share. Explain where you are going. And text when you arrive.
