7. This is common...

On the Mexico City metro. I take it daily when I'm there (usually 2-3 months a year). I will ride the men's' car if I'm with a friend.
Odd story, I was riding to the historic center of Mexico City last summer, during rush hour. Not one of my finer decisions. I got on the men's' car with my best friend (a man). We're both fluent in Spanish and from major metro areas (me from NYC area, he from Montreal). The car was positively packed and we missed our stop. I was getting anxious about the crowds...not about the men, per se, though I was in a skirt. We started chatting with folks, in Spanish, saying "yeah, we spend lots of time here, from major cities, blah blah blah." An older guy shouted "this young lady needs to get off at the next stop, let's let her out!"
No groping, no sexual comments. I did almost have a panic attack though.
