It wasn\u2019t long, however, before officials realised that many women didn\u2019t want to be separated from their male companions, and the short-lived idea was scrapped altogether \u2013 with many female passengers claiming to feel safer on the subway with men present.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"footer\">PICTURE CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passengers try
