Need to optimise space on short commuter trains greater than need for special women's coaches, says Loke


KUALA LUMPUR: There are no special coaches exclusively for women on the LRT, KL Monorail and MRT because the space on such trains needs to be optimised, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

"An efficient use of space allows for more passengers and this is very important when trains are operating during peak hours," said Transport Minister Anthony Loke in a parliamentary written reply dated March 20.
