Hooray! Female-only subway

‘Female-only compartments’ in subways will available all day in subway lines 6 and 7 from Jan 30 as a pilot project, says Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation. Oh Se-hoon, Seoul mayor, said earlier this year, “female-only compartments will be provided so that working women can use public transportation in a safe and comfortable way.

”What a brilliant idea! Seoul governemnt has launched a pilot project of 'female-only-compartment' in subways. As an active public transportaiton user myself, I often feel very uncomfortable whenever using densely-packed subways in the mornings and evenings.

It is not rare at all to witness a fight between a young woman and a man, often old, because a woman becomes easily irritated with the unavoidable phisical contact with an unknown man, and often suspects the guy to stand too close to her with some sleazy purposes.

Hope the plan to be introduced in subway line 1 and 2, the busiest lines, and my most frequently used lines~
