Title	Safety fear prevents women in India using sustainable transport, according to new study
Degree of recognition	International
Media type	Web
Country/Territory	United Kingdom

Description	Dr Guilhermina Torrao, a lecturer in transport, led the research. She said: "Our research highlights the problem of gender-based violence and harassment, particularly on public transport, which has a negative impact on women’s travel decisions. “We believe that this issue must be addressed urgently if women are to be encouraged to leave the car at home and use more sustainable modes of transport such as using public buses.” The survey also questioned the participants about what they thought would keep them safe. Respondents indicated a preference for more innovative technology which can be optimised with artificial intelligence, such as CCTV, over more traditional measures like personal safety alarms or calling women’s helplines.
