Methodology

Around 30 volunteers surveyed commuters using public transport, both bus and train, in Velachery, Thiruvanmiyur, Guindy Industrial Estate and Koyambedu. They also took their survey to public places such as the Marina beach and Anna Nagar Tower Park. While 1,400 residents responded online, 400 were surveyed on-site.

Survey Results

By sharing the survey data with these stakeholders in the transport sector, we intend to start discussions about incorporating features in various modes of transport, that display a sensitivity to problems faced by women. These features could include women-only buses or creating systems to ensure safety of women in overcrowd buses.

This data will benefit different stakeholders that include Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) staff, share auto unions, Ola/Uber representatives, Metro Rail staff, corporates and even NGOs.
