Ridiculous, utopic and disappointing.

It's a bus. Very bad vehicle when it comes to passenger segregation. At best you could build a wall in the middle of it but even then you'd still be riding on the same bus. The only way to do it properly is to split it in two: a mini-bus for men and a mini-bus for women. If that little segregation is sufficient and deemed satisfactory then perhaps the inventors should ponder if they aren't being blasphemous for making so little effort to realise their futile (though regarded as noble) intention.

If you're going to create the perfect world at least make an effort. Don't ashame your successors for being inept. Or realize that you're only pretending to have accomplished anything or that your standards are carelessly low.

Interesting paradox: in the more crowded train stations of some third world countries out there special wagons are separated exclusively for women so that they don't have to ride a massively packed metal box full of packed men poking their peckers all around them.
