As a 20 something year old woman, who lives downtown (and has since I was 17), and has caught buses after a call center shift at 11 pm M-Sunday since I was 16, or once I moved downtown, walked home, I have never had any safety issues. I keep my head up, am aware of my surroundings, and avoid certain places, (such as walking on the otherside of the street from certain pubs/bars that tend to have less friendly patrons). I have almost never felt unsafe downtown, in the 6+ years I have spent frequenting the area. Its the same sad old media perpetuated stereotype.
