And no, I would never advocate for you to walk to and from work if it put your safety in jeopardy. And no, it doesn't sound like an excuse.

Have you considered carpooling with anyone you work with?

As an aside, I used to walk home from work when I was a valet at the Phila St. Regis (then the Ritz-Carlton) when I was in school. It would commonly be at 12 midnight or 1 AM, and I would be walking from center city back to Powelton Village (West Phila) with a wad of $70-100 in mostly singles in my pocket. I still don't know how I avoided getting mugged to this day.

Not saying I advocate doing the same as me, just sharing the story.
