It's good to separate the cars because women feel insulted when they get touched, but women also have to take responsibility when they wear very short skirts. In summertime, some are almost naked.

I think it's a good idea, but on the other hand, some men suffer from chikan, so it doesn't solve the problem for everyone, or the source of the problem.

I think it's a bad idea. It's similar to segregation and can only lead to a worse problem. Women should be able to wear what they want, and if they get groped, turn around and grab the guy's balls.

It's a bit inconvenient because people usually choose the car next to your exit, but I'm not opposed on principle. Maybe they should have "debu-only" cars for sweaty people like me.

It's inconvenient. I don't use it and I don't like the system. The first car is far from everything. Some guys say it's gender prejudice. For some women it's a good system, but not for me.

I think it's a good idea, but I'm surprised there aren't more problems like pick-pocketing, with how tightly packed the trains here are. But I haven't been groped -- so far.
