Travelling by the Metro train today is a challenge in itself,
especially for females. Many of the
public today prefer taking the Metro over other public transport due to its
being resonable, faster and comfortable service. But I believe that a majority of women do
not feel safe while travelling in the Delhi Metro. Sometimes it include
instances of verbal and physical harassment faced by women. Those who choose to travel in the
general compartment are also harassed. There are girls who work
late. But they still are afraid to take the metro after 10pm.
Then what is the motive behind running this metro which public still
consider a safe transport?
A small initiative for the women will help in taking forward one
more step towards making Delhi a better place.

There is no doubt in that, metro is lifeline for Delhites.. But, everything has two aspects...
Fortunately, I have never faced any kind of harassment at least in metro..I think its high time we should stop expecting men to be in their limits and start giving them a tight slap on their faces..
agreed with sumedha
not all men are alike. being a girl, i know the mentality of ladies that they are the one to push first in order to get in or out of the coach, even if a passing person, no matter a male or another female steps on their toe or touches them, they create a scene out of it in a minute. These are the one's who say metro isn't safer. but to a greater extent it is safe
whether its metro or any other public transport..where there will be rush,the females feel unsafe there..
so we cant blame the service of metro as unsafe as they have provided a special ladies coach for females.
women are not safe even on common places which are always crowed either its a mall, or streets or markets... so we cant say that only metro is unsafe for women
i think metro is safe for women ,if there is any kind of harassment than it could be seen through cameras....
women can't b safe in delhi ... der r many reasons for dat... bt i think metro is sumhow safe for women as in metro n stations everywer cams r der any kind of harassment can b captured ...
i dont agree with this metro is the safest i think...there are public every time there is camera...and more important a separate coach for the women's...
I dont think metro is unsafe in anyway...I myself have travelled alone at night but I never faced any problem, it is anytime safer than buses or any other mode of transport.
Girls need safety as really said girls are an open box and metro is a means of transport cheap and best also saves time..but safety is in ones own hands and metro cant explain an aspect
Metro is safe as we have cctv's there and every security is provided..
yes metro is the safest means of transport.. and i personally have not faced any misshappening
i think metro is safe for women as i haven't seen any kind mishappening or harassment in metro
I think Metro is one of the safest Mean of transport , but still there are loop poles ,so we must be aware and be careful.
