KLANG: The trial run for designated ladies-only coaches for the MRT Kajang Line will begin by the end of this month, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
He said if the initiative can be implemented well, the ministry will extend the effort to train services on other lines.“The introduction of women-only coaches is due to the fact that we are seeing an increase in cases of sexual harassment on trains. “During rush hours, women have to ride on overcrowded trains and sometimes there is physical contact,” he told reporters after inaugurating the DAP Women National Congress here today.
