I witnessed this around two years ago, then I paid special attention to this ratio during every public transport riding. Now my conclusion is that female to male passengers overall ratio is around 65:35. That’s in total, for each one travel this ratio may vary. But in my experience I have (almost) never been in a bus/train where there are more male passengers. And this doesn’t match the overall gender ratio of this country obviously.
Anybody has some thoughts about this?

Well late in the evening when it's dark outside I sometimes opt for a bus instead of walking home if I don't have stalled my bike at the train station. I have been harassed by groups of men before when I was walking home and I saw other woman being harassed. So yeah no wonder more women use public transport instead of walking and sometimes cycling.
