I'm saying that, as a man, if you have to wait for your SO at the bus/train station late in the evening when she comes back from work then maybe public transport is not for everyone, in this case for almost 50% of the population (i.e. women). Been there, done that. If you live in an European big city where this problem doesn't exist, where women have no problem and especially no fear to use public transport late in the evening all by themselves, then consider yourself (and your SO) lucky.
