Public Transit and Women

It's important to have a transit strategy that takes into account the different needs of the population. For example, women make 61% of shopping trips and 71% of escort trips to school. Women are more likely to feel unsafe travelling at night (especially those 60 years and over).

We should have better facilities to be provided at taxi ranks, with information on fares, contact numbers for taxi companies, shelters and seating. Buses should have adequate space for prams. Displays that give real-time information on bus arrivals would also help if people are waiting for buses in Earlsdon.
