Lady-driven taxis launched at Shj airport
The Sharjah Transport, as part of its development strategy, on Tuesday launched six women-driven taxis exclusively for the women and family passengers at the Sharjah International Airport.
The service is reachable through the advance booking system at toll free No. 600545455.
Arhama Al Shamsi, Assistant Director-General of the Sharjah Transport, said the service is safer, more convenient, and gives commuters more privacy. “For more distinction, the front part, roof and both sides of the cabs have been painted with purple-coloured flowers.” Al Shamsi said the taxis, available round-the-clock, are driven by highly qualified women cabbies.
Mohammed Al Buraimi, Manager of Cab Booking Dispatch System, said the Sharjah Transport first initiated the women-only taxis in July 2011 with eight cabs — four saloon vehicles and four others for families with a capacity to commute seven passengers at a time.
“The service, which was introduced following a thorough study, was basically aimed to transport female students to their universities, women to the hospital or any other destination, as well as families to any place,” Al Buraimi said.
