Madrid has banned "manspreading" on its public transportation.

The city's official news channel posted photos on Twitter of signs that will ask passengers not to take up spaces by spreading their legs.

Madrid's public transportation system, La Empresa Municipal de Transportes (EMT), announced the new rule Tuesday. EMT said it worked with the city's gender and diversity policy group on the creation of the rule.
