For a woman, if you need to recruit a car alone at night, it will inevitably raise some security issues. Especially if the home is remote, or in the dead of night when there may be no way to get help, many women are worried about getting into trouble for soliciting a car alone. On the other hand, for female drivers, driving in the middle of the night is also something that will pose a threat to their personal safety.
With this in mind, AirAsia Ride, AirAsia’s taxi service, has launched LadiesOnly, a feature that allows women to safely taxi all the time! The LaidesOnly feature will be restricted to female passengers and female drivers, allowing female passengers to find only female drivers when hiring a ride. Although the search time will be increased, it will make female passengers, especially those who are alone, feel more secure.
AirAsia said it hopes that this will be a way for female passengers to be able to recruit a car alone without the stress of meeting a bad driver. Although it is true that if a driver behaves inappropriately with a passenger, the passenger can report him or her as well as the incident to the police. But if the damage has already been done, it’s too late. That’s why AirAsia wants to make it safer for female passengers to use e-hailing services.
