 Tokyo tackles subway gropers - World - www.theage.com.au
Tokyo today began its first women-only subway car during the morning rush hour in a bid to crack down on groping, which is rampant on the Japanese capital's crowded trains.
The special carriage will run from 7.30am to 9.30am on the Saikyo Line, which does a loop around Tokyo and is notorious for groping due to the relatively long distances between stations.
A number of other railway companies in Tokyo are due to start women-only cars in May on their busiest lines or on rapid trains which tend to be more crowded than local trains.
