Mumbai: Men have been always a victim of gender diversity when it comes to travelling in a local train especially Virar local during peak hours. Many professionals travel towards churchgate daily during early hours facing gender bias due to ladies special.
Special train for men only
Women have the privilege of ladies special or semi-ladies where as men have to travel in luggage compartments breaking the laws or hanging at the doors, risking their lives to earn bread and butter for their family. So, western railway emerged with the idea of special men’s train with a frequency of every 15 min. However, the increase in frequency resulted in protests by many female commuters who complained that their bosses and husbands reach office earlier than them.

He learned abusive language in locals and now, with men’s special train, again he has completely stopped abusing and need not have to visit church every sunday for confession of saying array of cuss words.
Overall all the male commuters are happy with this new service, since many can now sing bhajans, enjoy loud rock music or play rummy cards game, and discuss cricket, foot ball or politics without any interference from adjacent women’s compartments.
