Don't forget to throw in the part where we have to fix humanity. If a 35 year old woman doesn't feel safe alone around random people now, imagine how they are going to feel sending their 17 year old son/daughter into those scenarios.
Many people currently use their cars as a safe space. Drive to the grocery store, get out and quickly rush in. Safer inside. Get done what they need and rush to their car on the way out. Public transport turns that into a 4 hour ordeal of no safe spots except in the store. Bus stops and buses aren't safe spots. That rando that creeps you out in the parking lot now, you are going to spend 20 minutes with walking back to the bus stop and waiting with them.
Why are they on this bus with me... do I get off by my residence or do I get off elsewhere to hope I lose them before they follow me home. That might be more dangerous.
