Korean Women Like Japanese Women Like Korean Women on the Train

Japanese Women Use Trains to Get Dressed.

Well, it seems that the prettier half of the Korean population is going to be able to do the same.

Seoul will introduce women-only subway cars next year.

The reason is the same as in japan - crackdown on sexual harassment of female passengers - read guys can’t keep their hands to themselves.

The Seoul Metro and the Seoul Metropolitan Transit Corp. which has 8 subway lines will designate cars for women-only next year.

Two cars on each subway train will be exclusively for women. korean.subway.jpg

The guys will complain, but it’s their fault.

Seoul tried once before in 1992 but operational problems caused the effort to be immediately suspended.

‘Side effects’ might be incurred but maximizing the convenience of the lady folk and crime prevention will ’surpass the disadvantages’ is the intent.

I wonder if this sort of thing happens on Chinese public transportation as well.

Maybe it’s just not news there.

Have you ever been groped on a train?
