If you see someone being victimized on a bus top, you are not an intruder; you are a hero. Here is the "5 D’s" of intervention:
"In Lisbon, on the 28 tram (which is similar to a bus), the top was packed. A man used a newspaper on his arm to hide his hand while he touched my butt. When I turned, he acted asleep. That is encoxada —the cowardly mask of accident." —
She was enc oxada, a term that roughly translates to being completely absorbed or perhaps intoxicated by the moment, but here it seemed to mean being lost in the rhythm. Her feet moved with a grace that belied the roughness of the bus's movements. With each sway of the vehicle, she adapted, her body weaving a dance that seemed to belong to the very essence of the city.
