But it seems that at least this mob is licensed.

But IMO doomed to failure. :roll:

Owner Lisa Elliott, 32, believes her firm is the first of its kind outside London, and hopes thousands of female passengers will feel reassured.


Clearly hasn't done much research then.

Quote:
Ms Elliott, who has been a taxi driver for six years, said: "Research shows that at least one woman is raped every week in London by a bogus taxi driver.

"Women will feel more secure when they are picked up by a woman only, and I think this will fill a niche in the market.

"I carried out research before launching the business and think there is a real need for a taxi firm run by a woman – for women.


:roll:

Just a point about sex discrimination. Can a taxi/private hire company refuse to carry male passengers? Can a firm advertise for female only drivers?

I think a firm can refuse to carry male passengers, if they have a reason other than it's a male passenger.

Don't think a firm can advertise for only female drivers.

Up here there are very few acceptable reasons to refuse a fare. Being male isn't one of them 8)
