My girlfriend experiences the same thing which is why she refuses to take public transportation without me. It is a huge problem that nobody here has claimed a solution for nor really talked about (not too surprising since HN is composed of 94.6% males according to [0]). Just google search "public transportation women" or use this link [1] to read into it more. It is one of the reasons we plan to move to suburbia once we get married/start having kids.

- Karrot_Kream 8y agoNot doubting your experience at all, but my SO feels more comfortable on public transit than on an Uber/Lyft, where she feels like she has no control over what the driver chooses to do. She also avoids the last hour of transit.
- mrep 8y agoShe also tries to avoid taking Uber/Lyft but not too the extreme of public transportation. We also got a car recently and this was one of the big reasons.
