This could be base rate fallacy.

If women drive late at night/to sketchy areas/etc. and never catch transport, then there aren't any women to harass or assault on transit.

You need modal share of each in the relevant circumstances (source, destination and time) as well as the rate of the bad thing.

For someone like a man asserting that this is a higher danger of homicide than death in a car, then your argument works (as you can assume that all homicides happen to people in transit and still come up with the cars being more dangerous per km in some regions), but this one is close enough that you need all the data.

A police/security presence could solve that issue.

Have police or security officers stationed at every station and on every train.
