a woman-only bus in Mexico





A new system in Mexico city allows women to be protected from groping and verbal abuse common on the public transportation system : the buses have large pink "women only" signs on the front and side .

I think it's a good idea to protect women with special buses only for them, but in my opinion this new service separates women. It would be better if there was more police presence on the streets, and if government increases security in dangerous areas. Justice should be better and criminals severely punished.

In my opinion , separating women and men doesn't contribute to equality, but if it is the only solution to protect them, do it...

Maybe the real solution is to change the mentality of Mexicans and encourage equality.
