I mean, I'm pretty sure I've heard of recent cases where women have been gang raped just walking down the street as well, but my comment was more referring to ops comment that they should be agitating for better public transport. I agree with the sentiment, but there might be a safety factor pushing the lady to drive. That's possibly true for walking too. Walking may also not be feasible due to lack of walking infrastructure or mobility issues. My mother in law probably couldn't walk a kilometre, she's not obese and is mostly mobile, but she's just had multiple knee replacements and walking that distance isn't possible.
