Brazil city to curb rush-hour groping

Sao Paulo, Brazil: In an effort to curb rush-hour groping on crowded buses, a major Brazilian city known for its sexually aggressive men is about to introduce women-only buses in its public transportation system.

The city council of Goiania, capital of the central state of Goias, unanimously approved a Bill calling for women-only buses during morning and evening rush hours in the city of 1.1 million residents, councilman Mauricio Beraldo, the Bill's sponsor, said on Friday. "The beautiful women of Goiania are constantly being sexually harassed on our overcrowded buses by men who seem unable to control themselves," Beraldo said.

"Over the years I have received countless complaints from irate and nervous women," Beraldo added.
