Mexico City rolls out women-only buses
By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ, Associated Press Writer Thu Jan 24, 6:26 PM ET
MEXICO CITY - Groping and verbal harassment is an exasperating reality
for women using public transportation in this sprawling capital, where 22
million passengers cram onto subways and buses each day. Some men treat
women so badly that the subway system has long had ladies-only cars
during rush hour, with police segregating the sexes on the platforms.
But that hasn't helped women forced to rely on packed buses, by far the
city's most-used form of public transportation — until this week.
Acting on complaints from women's groups, the city rolled out "ladies
only" buses, complete with pink signs in the windshields to wave off the
men.
As word spreads about the buses, the women seem delighted, while some men
forced to wait a few minutes longer have shown their anger. Still others
have stumbled on board despite the signs, much to their embarrassment.
Mexico City's female-only buses run along three busy routes throughout
the day for now, but the city plans to add them to 15 other routes by
April, said Ariadna Montiel, who directs the public bus system.
"Women were asking for this service because of the sexual harassment,
especially groping and leering," Montiel said.

Imagine the outcry if only men were allowed on buses. Once again we see
that feminists are not concerned with fair play but in fact want
discrimination as long as it helps women!!

Maybe women should seek equality by groping
and harassing the men on buses.

They should carry a knife and stick any man who touches them.

The vile and infidel swine and swine sodomizer, "Speeders & Drunk
Drivers are MURDERERS," left this blasphemy in rec.autos.driving:

Never mind that, infidel. The pressing issue here is have you ever
driven a car faster then the posted speed limit? Your continued failure
to address this issue is duly noted.
