Don’t get surprised if you come across a Pink cab driven by a women in the streets of Carlisle...’coz these are WOMEN-ONLY cabs that are going to be launched in few weeks with a view to make women feel more comfortable and of course safe.
The Pink cabs are not taxies but chauffeur-driven limousines that are pre-booked and paid for. Passengers will receive text messages as the car arrives and will also be given a password for extra security.
Pink Ladies the brainchild of two moms from Warrington is already a hit in Warrington, Lancashire and London and soon will be launched in Blackpool followed by Manchester and Plymouth.
I wish a service like this was there in India as well...for traveling alone in cabs is really tough and highly unsafe for women in Indian Cities.

Pink Women-Only Cabs, Men not Allowed

I love this idea. I’ve been in some messed up cabs with some messed up men cab drivers and this makes my heart sing.
I think this is a wonderful, refreshing idea!!! Having been around NYC in the disgusting yellow cabs, trying to avoid eye contact with the drivers themselves, A ”Ladies Only” cab would be just the thing.... hope this concept makes it to New York!!
[...It seems that communities all over the world are at last realizing the problems that women have to face while commuting from one place to another on public transport.
Example of this realization is clear in the introduction of the Women Only PINK...]
I dont get the idea of setting aside men in this car. As if all men has the attitude of being messy and sometimes discourteous. No, not all of them do.
This can be considered as sexual discrimination for man.
This move builds a gap between sexes.
Well maybe i should make my car with a Chevrolet Tahoe Ignition Coil as a taxi exclusively for men
