Portrait of a “Women Only” Train Car

This morning, I had the pleasure of commuting in one of the Women Only cars that run on the Chiyoda line before 9:30 am. What a contrast to the train I’d transfered from. On the Women Only car this morning:

  • Nobody was sneezing or sniffling and I heard only one muffled cough.
  • Everyone in the car was awake and alert.
  • The women who were speaking (quietly) near me were talking about kittens.
  • No one had their newspaper or book spreading into another rider’s limited space.

I think I like the Women Only car.
