Railway Rules: During your journey by train, the railway makes a lot of efforts to make your journey easy. Similarly, the railway makes special arrangements for safety and comfortable travel for women passengers. Let us know what special rights women get during train travel.
Reserved coaches for women
Railways keeps a separate coach reserved for women in mail/express trains. Apart from this, reserved coaches are also kept in suburban trains covering a distance of up to 150 km.
Ticketless women also get these rights
If a woman travelling alone at night does not have a valid train ticket, the railway staff cannot make her get off the train. Keeping women’s safety in mind, the railway has made this rule.
Special attention to women’s safety
Railways continuously make efforts for special security of women. Similarly, women security personnel are deployed during the journey to check on the well-being of women travelling alone in reserved coaches, who are prepared for any situation.
Separate waiting lounge for women
In case of train delay or to spend some time at the railway station, separate waiting lounges are arranged at railway stations. In such a situation, women travelling alone at night also feel safe.
You can get your seat changed
If a woman travelling alone is not comfortable with her seat in the train, she can change her seat by talking to the TTE during the journey.
