Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.

I can only speak to our transit system, but although it's not particularly unsafe, it's definitely more likely to have weird/creepy/harassing/aggressive people on it at the time of night you're likely to be drunk. There are times I would've been pretty nervous if I weren't 6'2" and male.

Basically this. Figuring that drunk people, late at night, should just take transit home feels like the worst sort of unthinking privilege around being young, strong and healthy.

Unless your transit system is really, really safe, I can't imagine it would turn out well for quite a few people - particularly drunk women. (While the correct solution to this problem would be a safer transit system, in practice taxis might make more sense.)
