Ukrainian Railways has found itself at the center of a scandal after an incident involving a man who purchased a ticket for a women's compartment and tried to take his seat. The incident sparked outrage among female passengers, who turned to the conductor for help. The conductor's response only intensified the controversy: "Where does it say that men are not allowed in the women's compartment?".
The situation arose on one of the trains, where Ukrzaliznytsia introduced experimental women's compartments to improve the safety and comfort of female passengers. However, the incident with a man who purchased a ticket for such a compartment raised doubts about the effectiveness of this initiative. The passengers, outraged by the situation, contacted the Ukrzaliznytsia hotline, and the man was removed from the train at one of the next stations.
The incident quickly gained publicity on social networks and the media, causing a wave of discussions. Ukrzaliznytsia has not yet provided official comments on the incident. According to the passengers, the man purchased a ticket through the company's official mobile application, which further emphasizes the need to improve the ticket sales system to prevent similar incidents in the future.
