MRT rail operator says it will also work on raising awareness about ‘women-only’ coaches.
“Women-only” coaches are located in the middle section of MRT trains and may be boarded from specially demarcated areas of the platforms.
“Women-only” coaches were introduced as a pilot project on the Kajang MRT Line in response to an increase in complains of sexual harassment among users of public transportation. “Surveillance by the auxiliary police will also be improved to provide a more comfortable, convenient and much safer journey for all passengers,” she added.
University coordinator S. Thenmoly said each train should come with at least two “women-only” coaches.
