Brampton is overall a safe city with a friendly populace. Like any other city, it has its share of petty crime but instances of violent crime are relatively low. It is safe to move around in daylight and at night, but it's always a good idea to stay in well-lit, busy areas after dark. Public transportation is safe, and taxis or ride-shares are always an option if you'd like to feel more secure. Always remember to keep your personal belongings close and pay attention to your surroundings, no matter where you travel.
