Cabbies: Suitable for females?

Well, let's start of this one request from a disabled society to have more female taxi drivers, because apparently, a blind woman was taken on a terror ride by a male taxi driver, just because she could not see who he was, could not take down the taxi plate no, and obviously, unable to make a police report.

Thinking about this, that poor blind girl could have been raped, left by the side of the road or a secluded place, and she is unable to defend herself at all, and the taxi driver gets all the glory just because he could not be traced!!

Somewhere, somehow, we do hear stories on how ladies are being threatened, or taken for a terror ride by taxi drivers. It has become so bad that lesser woman are taking taxi's these days and opt to take a bus and burst the piggy-bank to get a car, even though it may cost them their precious time and their lifetime savings.

There has been many countless reports on cabbie drivers, from the way they drive, not respecting traffic rules, threatening their passengers with exorbitant high fees, dictate their own fees without using the meters, making additional round-the-bush trips so that they could rip off the passengers ( apply mostly to foreigners), hogging airports and forcing people to take cabs, just to name a few.In a basket full of apples, not all are good apples, not all are bad apples either. But no matter how many bad apples are there, we cannot judge that all the apples there are bad apples

Truly, there are but a few percentage of cab drivers that does the exact opposite of what is being mentioned here. They are worth respected for taking their job seriously, but i do feel bad that they are getting all the bad name. If only the blind woman could have gone into the cab of an honest and respectful cabbie, there will not be any issue of getting more female cabbies.

Women have already controlled the public transport arena, as we see female bus drivers and lately, female-only busses, female-only trains.Feedback from these, women felt much safer travelling in all-women's coaches. For them, it's safer, less crowd plus, you don't have to worry getting harrased sexually. Plus, the journey itself would be pleasant as women tend to be understanding especially when they have a load that they need to take care of..their passengers.

The main reason why the disabled society are calling out for woman cabbies!!!And the main reason why the all- ladies coach are becoming more and more popular...


You know the answer....
