Well, the methods used to measure the patrocinage of users in public transportation use households heads. the implications for not mention the gender can imply a false neutrality of the term "users", and for neutrality I'm referring to men household heads. Another assumption is that the travel patterns of the household head is representative of all the family members and the trip to work is the most important .
I'm not a transportation expert, but as far as I know the travel patterns of women are very different from men's and that suppose a new shift in policy implementation, and route programming. I'm interested specifically in the way other cities had dealt with this issue and waht kind of initiative did they implement and the results of that process. Something like that...
