Men's Safety Not so Important for TTC

AFG sent in this story and writes "For the last little while, the Toronto Transit Commission has had a "request stop" program for women on buses in between 9pm and 5am. This safety initiative (scroll down on the web page) allows for a woman to request to be let off a bus in between designated stops. While such a program is helpful, men are not given the same option, despite the fact that, in many ways, they are more likely to be the victims of violence/assault."Source: The City of Toronto Web Site [Canada]
