SheTaxis New Taxi Service Is Like Uber but for Women Only
Sept. 8, 2014
SheTaxis is just like other taxi services, except it only employs female drivers and only accepts female passengers
l
SheTaxis, which will be called SheRide in NYC because of laws limiting who can use the word taxi, is the brainchild of Stella Mateo, a mother of two girls and wife of the founder of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers. Her company works just like Uber or Lyft, allowing customers to order a car using a smartphone app, except that the SheTaxis app also asks whether there is a woman in the user’s party. If not, the New York Times reports, the app automatically recommends other taxi services.
While SheTaxis is a new addition to the New York area, the idea of female-specific transportation is not a new idea — especially internationally. India, in addition to offering women-only train cars, is home to a taxi business of the same name and concept. New Zealand’s Cabs for Women also operates on the same premise as SheTaxis, providing female drivers to an exclusively female clientele.
Mateo told the Times she wished there were women-only taxis available when her children were young and needed to be ferried around the city to various activities. She now hopes SheTaxis will help more women become taxi drivers.
