This thesis seeks to unravel how safety, or its absence, influences the daily mobility of
intersectionally marginalized women in public transport in Munich. I aim to make visible in which
situations women consider themselves at risk of verbal or physical harassment and use this
information to explore how far these insights are problematized in the mobility planning concerne d
with transitioning Munich into a socially just mobility space. For this, I employed a two stage
research process . First, I gather ed data on the e xperiences of intersectionally marginalized
women with mobility diaries, go along s and semi structured interviews . S econd, I conducted two
focus groups, one with a mobility strategist of the city of Munich and a mobility researcher of its
public transport subsidiary and another with two tram drivers. The results of this research process
show that intersectional marginalization significantly shapes women's experiences of safety in
Munich's public transport, influencing their perceptions, strategies, and gene ral sense of security.
In addition, intersectional issues related to safety, as identified in the first part of the study, are
only partially reflected in the current mobility planning strategies and practices of the city of
Munich. Thus, this study offers valuable insights into the experiences of intersectionally
marginalized women and mobility planners' response thereon
