New York Taxi Service SheRides To Offer Taxis Exclusively For Women

New Yorkers can already choose from yellow taxis, green cabs or black livery cars. They can tap a smartphone app for a ride, or simply stick out an arm. They can pay with cash or credit.
Now there is one more option: a female driver.
A new livery service starting Sept. 16 in New York City, Westchester County and Long Island will offer female drivers exclusively, for female riders, according to its founder. It will take requests for rides through an app, and dispatch drivers sporting hot pink pashmina scarves.
The service will be called SheTaxis — SheRides in New York City because of regulations barring it from using “taxi” in its name — and aims to serve women who may feel uncomfortable being driven by men, or who simply prefer the company of other women. The app will ask potential riders if there is a woman in their party. If not, they will be automatically redirected to other car services.
The app will be available only through Apple, starting on Sept. 16 and will eventually be made available for Android devices.

Isn't this discrimination? What happens when a dude wants a job with this service or they turn away a man?

This is where gays could be useful. Or better, a gay black man. Turn him down for a ride or a job and let's see how it plays out.

Insurance must be astronomical

Yep. Time to consult the gays on this. This isn't really any different from those bakeries and flower shops where they force a private business to do something they don't want to do.

Is this any different than a taxi service refusing to give rides to a certain race?
