In recent years Japan has seen an increase in chikan, gropers, on crowded trains. So many subways and trains have designated special Ladies Only cars. I've had to go to Osaka several times lately where these cars are prominent. I'm not worried about gropers, but during rush hour, I will absolutely choose the pink train car. While I watch my male friends in the next car being wedged between stinky salarymen and attacked by all manners of briefcases and bags, I sit in spaciousness talking to my female friend. I am all about equality of the sexes, but I think the Ladies Only car should be one of the last barriers to go.
