Amid a boom in reported cases of groping, Tokyo's rail operators will add more female-only carriages in April. East Japan Railway Company first introduced women-only carriages on the Saikyo and Rinkai commuter lines in Tokyo early in the month. Several other rail and subway operators, including Tokyo Metro Company, plan to follow suit soon. Previously, only two Tokyo-area rail lines offered female-only carriages, and only late at night. Such cars existed in other parts of Japan, but Tokyo officials had feared that implementing them would increase congestion in other cars.
Reports of molestation on Tokyo subways have risen in recent years: last year there were about 2,200 cases, a three-fold increase from 1996. Many cite overcrowding as a contributing factor; during rush hour, Tokyo's trains are filled to around 1.7 times above official capacity.

good idea! world is full of bastards, so it's better to protect women from them. in taiwan, in the evenings till the trains stop, there is a security guard inside MRT near the special area where women can wait for the train, and also in the streets in the evening and at night you can see people (mostly aged aunties and uncles) formed groups who are kinda protecting and accompanying women outside.
