ETE: On GERMAN Women and Transport...

Lauren Hilliard • Monday August 7, 2006

I’ve noticed a few interesting things here in Freiburg, Germany about making transport-related activities safer for women. In the parking garages are ‘reserved women-only’ parking spots near the elevators with extra lighting. There are only special transit passes for women at night to use the local trams at discounted prices so that they are not walking by themselves alone. And, I also noticed that the night bus lines will drop females off right at their front door upon their request.
