From the New Straits Times:
The railway will soon have separate compartments for men and women in commuter trains serving Klang Valley, Rawang and Seremban.
This is to ensure the safety of women in packed trains during peak hours, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) president Dr Aminuddin Adnan said yesterday.
There are three compartments in each carriage and these will be designated for men, women and families or couples.
"We will not ask families, old folk or married couples to take separate carriages. If we do that, it will create a lot of problems, especially for old folk who might need help.
"Since 60 per cent of our commuters are women, we want to make their ride as comfortable as possible," he said, adding that the railway had received feedback from women who preferred such an arrangement. Aminuddin said the inter-city coaches would not have such sitting arrangement.
He was speaking after presenting customer service awards to some of his front office staff including clerks, train drivers, quality inspectors and traffic wardens here yesterday.
