Default Ideas to travel safe

I would add to let someone know your travel itinerary back home and
always carry hand written paper with phone numbers just in case you
lose your cell phone.

Travel light. Less luggage is more comfort.
Familiarize yourself with train and bus schedules before traveling.
Have an alternate plan in case change is inevitable.
Keep an eye on your luggage. Fasten the luggage with immovable item/
hook provided in train/bus with the help of a chain and lock it.
Keep a photocopy of important documents, a small flashlight, a first
aid kit, an address book, etc.
Carry medicines if any with prescription.
Don’t expose yourself with rich appearance.
Never show money in public.
Beware of pickpockets.
Don’t travel alone in areas where crime is high.
Don’t encourage beggars.
Don’t accept any food or drink from a stranger or from a co-passenger.
Protect your packed food, drinking water etc. Some one may mix
tranquilizer, lift your valuables and may run away when you sleep.
Frequently alter your schedule; don’t travel from one place to another
at a fixed time everyday.
Do not discuss travel plans, your room number or any other personal
information in public within earshot of strangers.
Familiarize yourself with train and bus schedules before traveling.
Have an alternate plan in case change is inevitable.
Have enough changes in small denominations /coins so as to ease
transactions while clearing taxi bills etc.

Emergency numbers somewhere other than a lost cell phone? Seems
sorta obvious, personally.

Not quite. How does writing down you friend's phone number make you safe
when you are 10000 miles from home?
