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?

He'll ask the gays what they did to get the cakes from the bakery.

What if the guy just lies on the app and the women driver comes to get him like he knows she will an he takes her and rapes her?
I'm all for free market do what has potential to be successful but this seems a little over the top.

What if it's biologically male but identifies as female in regards to driver or passenger?

I think I'll go start a taxi service for white men only and have only hot, young women drivers. I'll call it BossRides. It'll make a killing around the Wall Street area

Discriminate discrimination

Is there a "cisgender" option on the app?

You would never make it out of the starting blocks before the discrimination suits were filed.

Libs trying to exercise freedom of association.

I would think men would run from this: women doing the driving (yes many jokes here) & women can't navigate (insert more jokes here), so why would men want to subject themselves to this AND pay for it?

Maybe they might be into S&M?
The company can hire a few dominatrix drivers.

ACLU needs to be fair and stop this sex discrimination.
