RE: Traffic Koans [Day 27]
But... it's one of the must-try attractions here! Aww come on! You have to try it at least once haha! Actually, the first carriage is reserved for women and PWDs. While it's a bit sexist, women are actually lucky because I have been told multiple times that it's quite pleasant to ride there. No cramped spaces. I really don't know why some women prefer to ride the normal carriages. Maybe because some of them have male companions they don't want to be divided with.
Wait... the first carriage is reserved for women? That's interesting. The first carriage is usually 1st class ticket holders. If I was traveling with a guy friend, I'd definitely ride with him on the regular carriages. Although... if it's as crowded as your saying, we may just have to meet at the right stop. Crowds freak me out.
No 1st class tickets here, so I guess that's the redeeming factor concerning equality. Separating on the train and just meeting up at the stop is definitely the best way to go about it, and one that I suggest to female companions every time.
I don't know if I'll make it to your neck of the world, but I'm definitely keeping that in mind 'cause I really don't dig crowds.
I'm with you there. There are other less crowded modes of transportation though, so that would be the option to take.
