India’s largest budget carrier, IndiGo, is the first airline to trial a feature that lets female passengers book seats next to other women to avoid sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a man in a move designed to make flying more comfortable for female passengers, according to a CNBC report.
The airline’s booking process is fairly standard except for the seat map which highlights seats occupied by women with the color pink. This information is not visible to male passengers, according to the airline, CNBC reported. IndiGo did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch’s request for comment on the new feature.
SINCE WHEN IS CREATING SAVE SPACES FOR WOMEN “SEGREGATION”??!!!
India is a country where you have to be careful not to look directly at men on the streets! Not to mention when you can’t move away for hours.
Sometimes I find the rampant Misogyny on lemmy really disturbing.
Yes but I find all this both racist and sexist. Not all men in India are creeps, even if may be a rampant problem. Shouldn’t they instead try to punish the weirdos?
