Anna Ferrer, LRTA information officer, noted that even if a male passenger looks like a woman, he can never avail of the special coach program which would be implemented starting Dec. 2.
"That special coach is specifically for the protection of the female passengers. I don’t think we can’t allow any men there," he added.
According to LRTA administrator Teddy Cruz Jr., said they decided to earmark a special train for females amid complaints of sexual harassment.
The LRTA, however, will not compel female passengers to take the special coach. If a female passenger, does not want to be separated from her male companion, she must join him in the regular coaches. – Sheila Crisostomo
