      Usually the first and last wagon is reserved for women, but women can also ride in other wagons so there is no segregation in Metro.

      Farzam, you don't mean that there is NO segregation. you mean that it is only partial segregation.

      Oh no..what sexist discrimination...against men!,I`m sure that most men if given the choice would really want to sit in the car marked "women only" LOL,you might have had a point if the men were forced to sit only in a car marked "men only" and couldnt sit anywhere else but that clearly isnt the case now is it?
