Special train women in KRL Tokyo Metro 5000 series, Tozai line. Looks posted in the window, is a special sticker that signifies that this train is specific to women. Recently, KRL Commuter Handsome woman has had a special train, which was in each end of the circuit. This is not a new thing in Japan, where a high level of abuse against women, the operator had long since introduced a special train this woman. What kind of application of a special train women in Japan?
Sexual harassment is high in Japan. About one in three women said they had experienced sexual harassment in the train. Initially, the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) (a kind of Department of Railways in Japan) when it launched a special train female students (hana Densha, 花 电车) on the Chuo line in 1912, to address the problem of high school students who attend a girls' school. At that time, this train is restricted to students only. The same phenomenon took place in Osaka in the 1950's until 1973.
Special train women (jousei senyousharyou, 女性 専 用车 両,) in this modern form, pioneered by Keio Electric Railway train company. Keio launches special train women who apply at night in December 2000, and enforce it fully began in March 2001. In July 2001 following a JR East by imposing it on the circuit that runs at Saikyou pathway, which is famous for its level of sexual harassment cases is high. In July 2002, JR West along Hankyuu Railway, Keihan Railway, and the Osaka Municipal Subway (subway Osaka's local government) enforce this part.

Women specific car boarded by every woman. However, they can choose an unmarked car, if women feel special car was too heavy. Most of the specific car man lets women with disabilities (and pendampingnya) and SD boys for this car. When the male lead partner, then he can not follow this woman into a special car. In most of the band, specifically women's car occurred on weekdays during peak hours (between 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning and 17:00 to 20:00 o'clock in the afternoon). On weekends or holidays, are not generally applied.
The position of women even a special car are different in each operator. Tokyo Metro and JR East to exercise special train women who are placed in one of the most tip of the car (usually a car number 8 or 10). While Tokyu memberlakukannya in the middle of the car (car number 5 or 6).
In each train, generally installed a specific indication for women, which shows the area specific platform stand for women passengers. In general, railway operators in Japan reject this. They felt that by the number of passengers is quite dense (193 percent owned by the Tokyo Metro Tozai line), will only exacerbate the density of the train. But after an unsuccessful socialization, as well as legal actions that do not provide a deterrent effect, the operator relented.
Tokyo Metro enforce this policy in Yurakucho line on October 30, 2005, the Chiyoda line (and Joban) on May 15, 2006, and on the Hibiya line on 19 November 2006. That is only valid at one end of the train most of each set of (generally on the train 10), only during rush hour in the morning and evening, on weekdays only, and is only valid between certain stations (between Nishi-Funabashi and Otemachi on the Tozai line, and between Wakoshi and Shin-Kiba on Yurakucho line).
The effects are also quite a lot. Some female passenger complained that the density became increasingly mixed on the train, and for men, they have to find excuses for not accused of sexual harassment. Even so, a special train women increasingly popular throughout Japan, and has been applied also in foreign countries such as Korea, Brazil, India, and Indonesia. Here is a table of women and implementation of a special train operators who apply it.
