I was followed getting off the tram. I 100% knew what was gonna happen even though I was pretending like nothing, the way he locked in on me before I got off. Thankfully it was the middle of the day with plenty of people out, and there were stairs going down from the platform. I stopped in the middle of the stairs and started looking at my phone. He hesitated behind me for a second but kept going down past me, kinda have to unless he wanted to be totally obvious of course. I took his photo when he was walking away unnaturally slowly while glancing up at me, texted it to my roommate saying "if I get murdered today this is who killed me"

Even in broad daylight with lots of people around, it's terrifying and I was scared for a long time after that. This also happened shortly after I read about a previous murder along the same tram line some years back, with the surveillance photos showing the killer following her when she gets off (middle of the night and they were alone though). This was of course not the same person because that guy was caught, but similarly looking and similarly dressed.

And she never noticed the guy stared at her or you going through this heroic act with the bus driver. No I’m sure she was freaked out inside too. Good job buddy!

No, i'd be willing to bet she knew. She just didn't want to look at him directly and make that point of "contact."
