Searat7 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 This is the most stupid decision I have seen here in a long time....the MRT has operated since 2004 with the same 3 car trains and the new line they will operate will have only 3 car trains as well. If they want a Women Only Car they need to order 2 more cars for each train ! This will take a long time since Siemens would have to make a special production run....they should have tagged onto the BTS order when they increased trains from 3 to 4 cars.

elviajero Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If anything they should be looking to reduce the jam packed carriages not find ways to pack more in. They are a disaster waiting to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) This is truely idiotic, and all so they can cram an additional 10 or so people into the already overcrowded carriages. So what is the game plan? a) To make one of the 3 current carriages ladies only, or to add a 4th carriage only for the ladies? My guess is it will be option A, as it would take 18 or so months to implement option B. Or it could be option C. Just hot air. PS: Personally I detest trying to cram into those over crowded carriages, be it MRT or BTS. Edited September 30, 2015 by WhizBang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 What about a carriage for people who don't use deodorant?....How about a carriage for whinging know it all farangs ? You lost me on that one Soutpeel, and I normally agree with you on most topics. Do you advocate crowded places with stinky-smelly people? Aside from groping sex maniacs/rapists & murderers, they rank right up there with the most offensive idiots on the planet in my book. I recall being on a ferry out to Koh Larn once & some Paki was up front, upwind, and about to gag everybody, Thai's mostly, who were covering their faces. He was gagging me too! I Told him he stunk like a pig and that half the boatload of people were ready to throw him overboard, and that he needed a bath, in no uncertain terms. I was quite the hero of many a Thai that day. I suggested he go sit at the back of the boat, downwind of us clean folks. He did, but was utterly bewildered. But,but,but...you protesteth too much Surr... I am indeedly offended by your exemplary protestation. I have a brother who will make you a real suit for little money.., trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 To the best of my knowledge, to date, the only exception is Muslim dominated Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Makes one wonder about the coming ASEAN event of 2016, that perhaps those same (religiously motivated) socially uptight "head-trip" pressures, are now being brought to bare on Buddhist dominate Thailand, by some Malaysian "Datuk", with a loaded suitcase.. They (the Malaysians) already tried to get that "female only" designated coach law passed in Singapore. Fortunately Singapore's indigenous Malay population is miniscule, compared to that of the Chinese In Manila, LRT trains have the first carriage exclusively for women (no transgender).

Jimbo1964 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Peerayuth Singpattanakul, Director of Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand, said yesterday the trains don’t get to transport the passengers at full capacity during rush hours because of the empty spaces. Well it must be true then .......erm I wonder if he has every travelled on the MRT during rush hour! Empty spaces? Must be on other MRT trains because the one's I've travelled on are completely full. You have to fight your way in when trying to get on one and you have to fight your way to the door when its your stop. Guess he wants it more like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VblpZELt6dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Good idea ! ! I had a reasonably good looking lady's backside pushing against my front side and moving with the motion of the train.

bangon04 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 As other posters have suggested - if the women only carriage is in addition to the 4 carriages then I am all for it. Some genius went to all the trouble of designing the platforms to accommodate 6 carriage trains. The demand at rush hour is obviously there. The constant traffic jams would be reduced. Maybe they will form a committee to "mull" it over sometime soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 What about a carriage for people who don't use deodorant?....How about a carriage for whinging know it all farangs ? Seems reasonable... Only problem is how to distinguish them from normal farangs who just just think they know it all! Don't give them ideas. Farang only carriages - double price. Must wear micro chip arm bands and report to staff every 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Crazy idea. Women out number men 2:1 in the mrt . Just did a quick count here in this section. 15 women 3 men 1 ladyboy Give them a carriage. Ban them from the other carriages and we (men) can all sit down.

gk10002000 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 hah! They should visit New York City when it is crowded. They should try Tokyo. The logistics of packing people in by specifying a lady only compartment is impractical. There will either be not enough ladies to fill a compartment which will be a waste of space, or there will be too many ladies for a compartment. What will they do then? Let the ladies overflow into the Men's compartment? Make the ladies not board the MRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usernames Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 What about a carriage for people who don't use deodorant?.... As they are thankfully in the minority I would just stop smelly people getting on. Everytime I smell body odour I take a glance around the carrigae and almost always find someone from the sub continent, however I occasionally spot the occasional farang who has given up on life. It was Italian tourists the other day. Made me so sick, I got out of the car early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wprime Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Seems pretty fair, I mean like, we have lady parking in malls because we men don't want women rubbing their cars up against our cars so why can't women enjoy the same luxury on public transport?

retarius Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Unbelievable! London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore, Beijing, Mekka (Saudi Arabia) Shenzhen, Hongkog, Chianghai, Moscow and Sao Paulo (the world's most densely populated city), have both elevated and underground commuter train systems (for many decades), without having to legislatively mandate the use of "female-only' designated coaches, during rush-hour. To the best of my knowledge, to date, the only exception is Muslim dominated Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Makes one wonder about the coming ASEAN event of 2016, that perhaps those same (religiously motivated) socially uptight "head-trip" pressures, are now being brought to bare on Buddhist dominate Thailand, by some Malaysian "Datuk", with a loaded suitcase.. They (the Malaysians) already tried to get that "female only" designated coach law passed in Singapore. Fortunately Singapore's indigenous Malay population is miniscule, compared to that of the Chinese Tokyo has pink women only carriages on the Metro because the men used to feel up the women on crowded trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
