So, if women don't ride in those cars, does that mean they're okay with being groped? Wouldn't it be easier if they just put all the perverts in one car?

Women-only train carriages were launched this week in Jakarta in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, in an attempt to avert groping and sexual harassment on packed commuter trains.

Women can choose to board the female-only, orange and pink-seated carriages at the front and rear of trains in Jakarta, the latest in a growing number of cities to offer women-only services.

The state-owned railway operator, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), said it had not received many complaints about sexual harassment but the company had noticed that many women avoided densely-packed trains.

"The women-only carriages are aimed to make women feel comfortable," an official at PT KAI told Reuters Television.

PT KAI is now providing 20 female-only carriages and plans to add more in the next three months. ....

... Female-only carriages on trains were first introduced in the festive, year-end season in Japan in 2000 as a way to stop sexual harassment. These carriages are now offered in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan's two biggest cities.

Since then the popularity of women-only carriages has spread internationally with countries including India, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brazil also operating women-only carriages.


Fuck you, Japan!

I'm sure it haz already been said, but it's just an extension of the houses with woman only room... (called usually 'the kitchen').

Before you start yer flamethrowerz... I'm the cook, and me Djooly is as terrified as the cats by the vacuum cleaner and washing masheen... She sometimes play around in the kitchen trying to make cakes for her team... You can detect this because she make her face of a 12 yo up to no good. (should scan a pict of the original to show the extend of the mayhem you might expect from this facial expression)... And the kitchen look like Bagdad downtown market after an extensive carpet bombing... oh, and also, the TV is on...

Q1: yes, when they go to court the perpetrator will claim stress or some dumb excuse and the defense attorney will say, "Well, you did have the option to ride the Female only train, it is your fault that this man suffered."

I ride those women only cars whenever possible, and I can tell you from experience I've been welcomed

Yeah, but few know they are also allowed for handicapped people and seniors...
