# RapidKL Introduces Women-Only MRT Coach But M’sians Aren’t Impressed

##### Women, compared to men, are more vulnerable to being harassed or assaulted by unknown individuals at public places and transportation.

In a move aimed at enhancing safety and comfort for female commuters, RapidKL recently revealed the new women-only MRT coach for the Kajang line.

## RapidKL unveils women-only MRT coach

Taking to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw1FSryM7O0/?img_index=1) to make the announcement, RapidKL said that the women-only MRT coach's sticker installation and operational testing is being carried out in stages and expected to be completed on September 17.

It also gave the public a sneak peak of how it would look like, where doors leading to the women-only MRT coach was adorned in pink and female stickers.

However, it seems that this service is only available for the Kajang line for the time being.

## 'Useless!'

Unfortunately, the news was met with a chilly reception from netizens, who felt that the women-only MRT coach served no useful purpose.

One called upon RapidKL to focus on increasing train frequency during peak and non-peak hours instead.

Another called the women-only MRT coach "irrational", adding that RapidKL often did a terrible job in handling the crowd during peak hours.

Another questioned RapidKL's ability in ensuring that no male passengers board the women-only coach, which was witnessed in the past for the KTM.
