Overview
- Petitioner Marie K calls for a pilot of women‑and‑children‑only coaches on RER and Transilien lines with clear signage, reinforced patrols, and independent evaluation.
- Île‑de‑France Mobilités says it has no plan to create reserved carriages on any mode and highlights alternatives such as more cameras, interlinked “boa” trains, emergency call points, and the 3117 hotline.
- The region cites roughly 80,000 cameras in service as Valérie Pécresse publicly endorses AI‑assisted video protection to flag suspicious behavior for faster intervention.
- The petition references countries that operate dedicated spaces for women, including Japan, India, and Mexico, as well as compartments on some European regional and night services.
- The push follows a widely reported attempted rape on the RER C, with recent data indicating 56% of women feel unsafe on the Île‑de‑France rail network and many adjusting travel habits at night.
