50 pink taxis to hit Dubai roads |
2006-09-01 |
DUBAI — Some 50 pink taxis, exclusively for women, will hit Dubai roads starting January 1, next year. Driven by national women drivers, the pink taxis will be a sight to behold on Dubai's roads, said Ammar bin Tamim, Director of Dubai Taxi Department at the Public Transport Agency in the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The taxis can be booked over the phone, and will also be available at places most frequented by women such as shopping malls, hospitals and clubs. "Already 11 national women have been hired while three are still under training," said the director. He also said that the taxis will offer different services from the taxis allocated only for airports as those taxis catered to families. "The pink taxis will be for women only," he pointed out. |

#4 So much easier for the muttawa to target women travelling without the islamofascist-demanded male family member.. So much easier for roving rape gangs to identify women travelling alone..... Great idea. |
