The online transportation booking platform Bookaway recently launched a new feature that allows users from all over the world to rate public transport lines based on how safe they are for women.
The service entails asking female passengers to rate the service of a particular transit line from 1 to 5, evaluating the driver, other passengers, sitting arrangements, the process of getting on and off the vehicle, cleanliness, and more.
The transit lines with the highest ratings will then be classified as “safe for women” in the search results on the online platform.
Bookaway Group VP Brand and Communications Noa Greenfield said 90% of the transit lines that have been rated so far received a high score. “Only a few lines so far have been given a low score, and we immediately acted upon it, raising the issue with the operators,” she said.
