As an extremely forgetful person who commutes by public transit myself, this is why you make a mental checklist to run through before you leave home / the office. Phone, wallet, keys, lunchbag, anything else important you need for that day.
The trick is to run through it every single time you leave for your commute, no exceptions. It does take a few repetitions to get in the habit. But once you do, it’ll dramatically reduce the number of times you forget anything important.
