First all-female rush-hour carriages

According to Official Guinness Records,

Women-only train carriages have been a feature of Japanese rail travel for a number of years, but in July 2002, the West Japan Railway Company (JR West), headquartered in Osaka, Japan, introduced the first female-only carriages during rush-hour. Other companies soon followed, and all-female cars are now available all day long on trains supplied by Hankyu Railway.
Female-only carriages were introduced to combat chikan (groping).
