The MRT girls’s coach pilot mission will likely be expanded to the Putrajaya Line, as complaints of sexual harassment have been on a decline since its introduction, stated transport minister Anthony Loke.

Since trial runs of the ladies-only coach started in September, complaints of sexual harassment have decreased from eight circumstances within the first quarter of this 12 months to 3 circumstances within the fourth quarter as of November though the variety of MRT passengers elevated, The Star reported.

As for grownup male passengers who enter the women-only coaches on the MRT line, there are presently no plans penalise the offenders, and the federal government will concentrate on educating MRT passengers in the intervening time, the transport minister stated in accordance with BFM on X.

The introduction of the women-only coaches on the Kajang Line was introduced in July this 12 months. Set up of high-visibility stickers for the ground and gantries was carried out in early September to point entry to the ladies-only coaches.

In 2010, a ladies-specific rail commmuter service was launched by KTM Komuter for ladies, who comprised 60% of its ridership, the New Straits Instances reported in July.
