Pro:
The carriages are located next to the conductor, to make women feel more safe as a solution to the rise in assault and harassment of women on public transport. Exceptions where males can use these carriages: Boys up to the sixth grade of elementary school. Male passengers with a disability. Male care workers accompanying passengers with a disability, etc.
Con:
The suggestion is accused by women's rights groups as being regressive. Some argue that the solution is a step back and that more resources should go towards the focus of tackling sexual harassment on the part of the perpetrators rather than potential victims.
