Ms Rachel Cahill:

That is the question. Goodness me. To be honest, I do not really have a view on that matter. Safety is one of the main concerns for women when they are choosing their primary mode of transport. I heard the Deputy describe the situation he and his fellow passengers faced on the train. That was an unfortunate incident. Transport police is an option that could be looked at and considered, along with many other options. In the Travelling in a Woman's Shoes report, we were looking at a more holistic approach rather than seeking a single solution to address all issues. We set out some design challenges in the report. It takes a more holistic view, including the design of systems, place-making, education and training. The training of staff, whether staff on trains or customer service staff, would include gender sensitivity training and instruction on how to respond to an incident. A plethora of solutions are outlined in the report.
