They very well should be able to request women drivers its actually surprising that its not offered as its much safer for the female clients.
NOW... you get people that are going to twist and turn this any way to say its wrong and so be it but the bottom line is that as a woman you probably feel you can hold your own if you have to against another woman much better then you can a man and i wont be surprised if most women feel that way.
Its a safe and GREAT idea.... good thinking.
@black4white As a woman who was locked in a cab with a male taxi driver (because he wouldn't get paid until he got to the destination and soon to be ex paid him - I had no money on me and needed to get home from the hospital), I am now wary of getting in a taxi driven by a man when I am alone.

Yes, I have unresolved issues with men... and what he did to me that day caused major issues and further trauma for me. I even offered the driver my phone to show that I wasn't going to bunk on him without paying the bill so that he wouldn't lock the door on me.

@HootyTheNightOwl And you are solidifying my point...i am sorry that happen to you and the male species really kinda sucks... There are TONs of good men out there but WOW soo many bad ones and i know for a female its probably VERY to EXTREMELY scary getting in a vehicle with a strange man.

@black4white Yea seen a lot of ppl say you could still get assaulted by a woman but the fact is it’s statistically less likely to happen and you generally have more chance of over powering the average woman than an average adult man if that sorta situation were to arise. On paper sure anything COULD happen regardless of gender but realistically most women would just rather take their chances with another woman when it comes to safety and comfort
