  2. There was a post on a UK sub I saw yesterday about a woman taxi driver who wasn’t sure about the job – clearly there is a demand, just might need to form a company to offer the service or even a franchise

  3. Good idea but I doubt they’d last when Uber catch on

  4. Sad that it needs to exist but it’s great that it’s doing well.

  5. If this was in London, I would use this.

    I don’t want to be shitty to male drivers but I have had too many weird experiences with male Uber drivers at this point.

  8. As much as I support this, UK equality laws prohibit them from not hiring male drivers. It would be discrimination based on sex. I remember an insurance provider called Sheila’s Wheels a while back but not sure whatever happened to them.

  10. That was a lot of words for “a taxi service for the religious that forbid the sexes mingling”

  12. I wish we had this up North.

    I pick my partner up every time she goes out because of the experiences she’s had with male taxi drivers.

  13. So many comments claiming that this is sexist and is only wanted for religious reasons.

    I’m an atheist and I’m going to put this very fucking bluntly. WHEN MEN STOP RAPING AND KILLING US, WE WILL STOP BEING AFRAID OF THEM.

    If you’re going to give me the whole “not all men” spare me. We already know that, obviously, which is why we continue to have relationships with men. We marry them. We carry their children. Don’t lecture us as though we don’t already know it’s not everyone. It’s insulting. The issue is that we don’t know who will attack, so to get into a car with a man who could be a danger is to put one’s self in a very vulnerable position.

    Drect your anger towards the creeps who intimidate, pester and attack women. Don’t be mad at the women who are fearful as a result.

  14. Thread attracting exactly the kind of men who women want to avoid for their own safety.

  15. You have to wonder how and why it’s legal to ban men from working for this company.
