Neville Park: “But let’s get real: This isn’t about individual choices. It’s about gender and class and how they intersect in public space. And when I say “gender”, I mean “women.”

 

Public transit is a women’s issue. The TTC’s ridership is nearly 60% female. Women still tend to be the primary caretakers of children, and that is reflected in the unique way women use transit.”
