I think that in an environment where people are going to steal your iPod, they are also going to steal any other DAP, your shoes, or whatever else looks tempting.
If you are going to get another DAP, I can't say enough good things about the Karma, really. The headphone jack is so good that I don't even need an amp with my ER-4S. I don't know if you were "staying with amplification" on the bus, but not having to carry around yet another expensive electronic accessory like this could also be an advantage.

Most people that do **** like this are planning on selling their spoils, and nobody wants to buy old monochrome MP3 players. I'm more likely to actually get mugged and not just taken advantage of if it's something expensive looking.
I forgot to mention that I don't plan on using an amp. I normally use KSC75s, SF3s or Marshmallows -- I'm not
that picky about portable sound quality, obviously.
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll look into the 'clip', and see if I can find any decent refurbished Rio Karmas in my budget.
