Women-only train cars

In August, in response to women passengers’ complaints of sexual harassment and groping on the public rail system, Indonesia became the latest country to offer women-only passenger cars. Two coaches on each of 10 eight-coach Jakarta-Bogor commuter trains are designated women-only, with female conductresses and security officers.

Currently, 12 countries have women-only train cars. The others are Belarus, Brazil, Egypt, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates.
