It seems like a "Request female/male driver" option from Uber would make this business venture obsolete.

- SCAQTony 10y agoAstute observation. According to the last paragraph the writer does a complete slam on male drivers listing 4 or 5 incidents of mayhem and sexual abuse. Makes me suspicious that the article was an Astroturf press release to convert female customers to the service.
- taxicabjesus 10y agoSome female drivers might prefer to only have female passengers. I met an older woman one night who'd just started driving for the taxi company. Her passenger was a little drunk. She probably should've stuck to the days, at least until she'd gotten the hang of things.
- jacalata 10y agoUgh, I can only imagine the creepy drunk male passengers you'd get at night as a female driver.
- NetTechM 10y agoThe drivers still reserve the right to refuse service, I'd just drive off if someone did that lol I do see how it could be abused. Although im not sure how you would stop that, even with a female only drive service. I wonder what happens if you have a mixed group? Say 4 girlfriends and your husband? Does he have to get a different cab?
- jacalata 10y agoIt's extraordinarily difficult to "just drive off" when someone is in your car, and it's easy to not realise someone is a dangerous creep the first second you see them.
