It's supposed to be an easy way to get around but some riders are passing on public transportation in an alarming new trend.
Ridership by women has dropped 4% on buses and 2% on trains since 2019. While it may not seem like much, these new statistics are concerning for the leadership at the Los Angeles County Metro.
Vides said the survey polled 12,000 riders in the spring. Its findings revealed that Metro has a lot more work to do to improve the experience for women. Although she doesn't know exactly why women are choosing other ways to get around, Vides said the women who are riding cite safety, with half concerned about crime and harassment while riding.
"We can't have a moving asylum on the train where people just go on for free and ride all day — that can't happen," said rider Melissa Godash."They need to have some type of control."
