In research commissioned last year by Transport Infrastructure Ireland The Travelling in a Woman's Shoes report shows that more than half the women surveyed said they would not use public transport after dark.
One third said there had been times when they decided not to go out because of feeling insecure about travelling on their own.
They also expressed a fear of walking to and from rail stations and bus stops and told of their strategies to make themselves invisible
The women interviewed also said that they would visit a shop or cafe while waiting for transport.
Ninety-five percent of women across the State and 79 per cent of women living in Dublin considered having a car as essential.
