    how will this be enforced? will the harassers be able to just hop in the womens section?

    also, other passangers should step in and help people being harassed. no matter what gender. IMO ppl should show harassement is not tolerated.

      I agree that people should call out harassment and intervene if possible but not everyone, including men, are confident in a confrontation that can quickly turn physical.

      The stats show that men do intervene in public assaults and as a result are often victims of violence.

      Women only carriages are a sign of declining public trust, community and safety but may be necessary to ensure the safety of women until other issues are resolved.
