What STC actually found—I'm using them as an example because they had really good statistics, which we need more of in Canada in terms of the bus systems—was that of the people who rode buses, 60% were women and 71% were vulnerable populations.
First of all, when we look at that stat, we see that the majority of bus users in the province were women. You also have to look at aging populations. Women tend to live longer. Seniors are generally more dangerous drivers. I don't mean that in a bad way. As an aging woman, I can say that. Public buses are, as Jacob alluded to in the beginning of his talk about OECD, in general, safer modes of transportation. They're also less polluting. There's a whole bunch of reasons there.
Those are some of the gendered effects. However, the Canadian government really needs to do a GBA+ analysis of the impacts of having public and private transportation in Canada and what the best system would be for an intercommunity approach.
