Men Only Train Carriages
We all heard about the special women only train carriages for female commuters. Now men are also calling for men-only train carriages too.
The reason behind this is that man want to avoid being falsely accused of groping female commuters.
If you remember, I recently talked about a couple who were running this train groping scam and blackmailing men for money. So basically men are now trying to protect themselves from such scams which seemingly have been on the rise.
But the outlook for men’s only carriages seems dim. According to a spokesman for the East Japan Railway Co. (JR East):
“We get a lot of requests for them and take note of these, but we have no plans regarding carriages exclusively for men at this time”.
Keio Electric Railway Co., which back in 2000 became Japan’s first railroad to introduce women’s only carriages, also has no current arrangements in place to correct the gender imbalance on its routes.
“We’re aware that there are these demands, but we have no concrete plans for men’s only carriages at this stage”.

So what can men do to protect themselves? They can try the following
- Do a banzai cheer (raise both arms)
- Close their eyes and don’t look at anyone
- Avoid standing close to carriage doors
- Stay away from female commuters
- NEVER stand directly behind a women
Seeing this post, I remembered about this movie titled “Soredemo Boku wa Yattenai”. It tells about a man who is falsely accused of groping a high school girl and get trial for it. The ending still left bad aftertaste in my mind.
lets hope all thosemen wash themselves often =P they look like a respectable bunch of comuters. i think i would rather travel on a average carriage with ixed comuters, theres only so long u can stare at a blokes head before u want to pull out a blow torch and a pair of plyers and go medievel on their asses (thats right i saw pulp fiction the other day)
