Room is hard to find. So when the Guangzhou government began reserving cars for female passengers worried about being groped and harassed, they filled up but not with the intended passengers.
Men are totally clueless, said Lu Lili, a 28-year-old bank employee, who was waiting for a train on Guangzhous Line 1 to appear. Its basically all the men trying to squeeze in.
She gestured at the passengers like her, waiting for a women-only car. Many were men.
In the past, there would be workers trying to tell them and remind them repeatedly: This is a women-only car, she said. But all these men still want to rush over. They really are uncivilized.
