'Almost half of U.S. women want women-only train cars on subways and transit systems according to a recent poll.

The survey, conducted by YouGov, found that 48 percent of adult women supported trains and subways nearest to them reserving a car for women only.

Of all adults, 43 percent said they would "strongly or somewhat support" the initiative whilst 30 percent "strongly or somewhat" opposed and 27 percent were unsure.

Sociologist Katie Gaddini told Newsweek she was unsurprised by the findings "given the high rates of sexual assault and harassment targeting women in the U.S."'
