I can vouch for this based on my own experience, my wallet seemed safer by itself on the train than in my pocket in any other country.

OTOH, every school girl gets felt up on the train.




That's why they have 'women only' cars now.

As a slightly amusing story, a very Japanese-looking American ladyfriend of mine used to live here. She's ex-military, and more than a bit of a redneck, but you couldn't tell by just looking at her.

So, one day she's on the train, and some guy cops a feel. Women here more often than not don't react to it, but ex-Navy chicks are a different story.

Mr. Pervert got decked, cursed out in English, and arrested at the next station.
