Investigation Reveals Low Numbers of Female Cab Drivers in India Amidst Safety ConcernsPreviousNext

An investigation into the low numbers of female cab drivers in India reveals a significant gap between claims made by ride-sharing companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido, and the ground reality. Despite the desire for safer rides among women, particularly at night, the presence of female drivers remains negligible. The month-long probe explored airport cab services, driver interviews, and all-women cab services to understand this disparity.
