Women’s Perspective of Personal Safety on Public Transport in Ireland

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We showcase female users’ perceptions of rail transport. This study investigates women’s views on the overall service offering when accessing public transport and the relationships between perceptual conditioning and travel choice. We analyse passenger safety boundaries and concerns relating to environmental, security and accessibility parameters of public transport. While recent literature provides a baseline of the perceived, theoretical and experienced fears and apprehensions relating to public transport use, we offer a hierarchy of macro-themes emerging from our user-bases’ most prominent travel misgivings.
