No fear on that side, I reckon. Buses can be more crowded, therefore more chances to get pick-pockets.
But it is true than taking a taxi of your own (not sharing with strangers) is highly recommended at night.
Anyway, Quito is a nice town. A visit of the Basilica in the morning to have a nice view over the old town is enjoyable

No, don't wear jewelry or hang your fancy camera around your neck or carry a lot of cash while you're there, but those rules apply in most places anyway.
Bottom line - if these cities scare you, you probably shouldn't be in South America. That's just how it is. There aren't many places down there I'd feel safer in than Quito.
