Additional security feature for women riders on Ola/Uber 💡 Ride-hailing companies can introduce a feature that allows female passengers to opt for women drivers. This could include a dedicated fleet of women drivers, where the app offers female riders an explicit option to choose a woman driver. This option would be particularly valuable during solo trips, late-night rides, or for female passengers. Few advantages: 1. Enhanced Safety: Women passengers would feel more secure, knowing they have the choice of riding with another woman. 2. Empowering Women Drivers: This initiative could also provide more job opportunities for women drivers, empowering them in an industry typically dominated by men. It can be an inclusive step toward gender equality in the gig economy. 3. Improved Brand Reputation: A company that introduces this feature would show a commitment to prioritizing customer safety and inclusivity, positioning itself as a leader in responsible transportation services.

I completely agree with your thoughts on the importance of offering a women-only driver option. In fact, I had the same idea and decided to take action. That’s why I developed Pushpaka, an open-source ride-booking app with a “Woman Mode” feature that allows female passengers to choose women drivers for enhanced safety and empowerment. For more details on how we are making this happen, feel free to check out the app and visit this link: Pushpaka Ride.

Interesting suggestion while it could improve safety for some, it's important to consider how it fits into broader safety measures and inclusivity efforts, i mean sab kuch toh nahi kar loge.

This might create more segregation than inclusivity, and could potentially reinforce stereotypes rather than solving safety issues comprehensively but best of luck buddy.

🚖 What if Uber & Ola never took a cut from drivers? Imagine a ride-hailing app where: ✅ Drivers keep 100% earnings (No commission!) ✅ Just a small monthly fee (₹50-₹100) instead of losing 30-35% per ride. ✅ Cheaper fares for passengers revenue f
