Question

Think about the existence of women-only passenger cars in the Light Rail Transit 1 and the

Metro Rail Transit Line 3. Why do you think they set up that kind of system? Do women

experience something different from men in the train when fully occupied? Is it a form of

violence or not? Why is the system particular to women?
​

Answer 1

Women-only passenger cars are railway or subway cars intended for women only. They are a result of sexual segregation in some societies, but also can result from attempts to reduce sexual harassment such as groping.
