No special women’s coaches in urban rail services

DUE to the need to maximise space on board urban rail services, special women-only coaches have not been introduced in Prasarana Malaysia Bhd’s MRT, LRT and monorail services, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

“An efficient use of space will allow more passengers to be transported, 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.
