Ukrainian Railways found itself at the center of a scandal after an incident involving a man who bought a ticket in a women's compartment and tried to take his seat. This event caused outrage among female passengers, who turned to the conductor for help. The conductor's answer only intensified the controversy: "Where is it written that men cannot be in the women's compartment?".
The situation arose in one of the trains, where "Ukrzaliznytsia" introduced experimental women's compartments to increase the safety and comfort of female passengers. However, the case of a man who bought a ticket in such a compartment raised doubts about the effectiveness of this initiative. Female passengers, outraged by the situation, contacted the Ukrzaliznytsia hotline, and the man was taken off the train at one of the following stations.
The incident quickly gained publicity on social networks and the media, causing a wave of discussion. "Ukrzaliznytsia" has not yet provided official comments on the event. According to female passengers, the man purchased a ticket through the company's official mobile application, which further emphasizes the need to improve the ticketing system to prevent similar cases in the future.
