Does this happen on BART here in Bay Area?

Tokyo police act on train gropers
Tokyo police have begun a week-long crackdown against the twice-daily scourge of gropers on commuter trains.
Undercover teams have been deployed on some lines in a bid to catch molesters in the act on crowded trains.
Last year more than 6,000 people were arrested on suspicion of groping or taking unsolicited photographs.
According to one survey, nearly two-thirds of young women have been groped on public transport. Some train lines have introduced women-only carriages.
Website 'recommendations'
Tokyo police have begun what is being described as a "groping prevention week".
There are conspicuous extra police patrols in stations handing out leaflets, and undercover teams have been deployed on trains to try to catch men in the act.
Gropers can be imprisoned for up to seven years in Japan.
Local reports say the police are particularly concerned that gropers are using the internet to co-ordinate their activities and form gangs.
Several suspects arrested in recent months are said to have told officers they had targeted particular train lines because of recommendations they had read on websites.

Never seen it so far.. All I see is trains being stopped while BART police with AR-15s look for a suspects...
and the occasional pile of puke.... And I'm like the 7up guy from the movie The Replacements, if I smell puke I might just yak myself!

It happens there cause they are CRAZY packed into trains. BART is hardly ever that packed, if so would suck, cause damn would I hate having to stand being crammed between a bunch of BBWs... although, i'd probably be comfortable against such layers of fat.

The young women in Tokyo don't want to make a scene, if you grope some co-ed on bart she'll scream, not embarrassed at all...and cuss you out.

It's called chikan in Japanese. You can go to chikan themed bars there made to look like the inside of a subway train. The girls there are dressed up like OLs on their way to work and you're free to grope all you want for a price.

My mom had a short stint in Japan teaching English many years ago. She left because she got tired of getting groped and flashed on the packed subways.
