Yes. Again, all you need do is use common sense. When driving, secure the oxygen unit so it will not tip over. Leave a window open slightly for ventilation so the oxygen will not accumulate in the car. You can also travel on public transportation while using oxygen. Be sure to make reservations early, alerting the reservations people to any special needs you may have, so they will have time to accommodate them. Your supplier can help you arrange for your oxygen en route and at your destination.
