Russian railways offer single-sex journeys

Starting from Monday, passengers on some of Russia’s long-distance trains can buy tickets for male, female or mixed compartments. “Russian Railways is introducing this service on eight of its trains at the request of its passengers, mainly women,” the operator said.

It added the new service, available on trains in eight directions, was a pilot project and if successful would be extended to other trains. Unlike Europeans or Americans who increasingly travel by plane, many Russians spend days crossing their vast country aboard trains usually in four-bed compartments because it is a cheaper and often safer alternative. reuters
