Cammy, I really have to say I haven't seen any women on buses since my arrival in 2007 - perhaps that's a compliment to my keeping my eyes on the road LOL when I'm driving.

So to the OP, there are a number of women who travel safely by bus obviously from what Cammy and JasmineJasmine have posted.

As has also been noted, the summer temperatures while waiting for the bus and the smell of BO may be deterrents. That's for you to decide.
