With the absence of public transportation in Lebanon, many people are using unofficial shared means of transportation. It is true that they cover the gap that exists due to the absence of official public transportation, but they don't really offer much of a solution for Lebanese women, as they are more vulnerable to harassment when using these unofficial means of transportation. This makes it difficult for Lebanese women to obtain educational, economic, and health care opportunities. This episode features a discussion and collective experiences of Lebanese women who use diverse unofficial shared means of transportation inside or outside of Beirut. Moreover, the episode also presents some suggestions to find government-sponsored transportation on one hand, and to improve non-governmental transportation on the other. This episode was produced by Farah Sbeity, Lara alSayegh and Toufic Haddad. The episode was translated by Zainab Magdy and dubbed to English by: Aya Salah, Sadeq Saudi, May Khaled and Jailan Najy, Alaa Alhusan.
