The purpose of this research is to understand whether or not public transport is generally safe to use for women and the factors which affect how likely they are to face verbal and physical harassment or even assault when using these services.

Therefore it is recommended that while governments and legislators have a high degree of responsibility when it comes to ensuring that women can travel safely on public transport, the companies which oversee these services have several responsibilities as well. The goals of public transportation should not be aimed at increasing profitability or competing with other modes of transportation but rather to ensure that the services they provide are safe for use by all segments of society.
