Women-only taxi in Paris
A initiative that already is happening in 10 cities in different countries of the world, including London, Mexico City, New Delhi and Cairo, has just arrived in Paris to offer women a safe and exclusive service of taxis “only for women” attractive vehicles equipped with the latest technology in safety and comfort, and which have more than one surprise.
The so-called “Woman Cab”, as the project director in Paris, Malika Montagna explains, has been inspired more than the taxis circulating in the City or Cairo, for example, in the London project called “Pink Ladies Cab” What is the difference between them?, mainly the purpose of the service, as in Mexico City or Bogota for example, two cities where the goal of the service, is mostly safety for women due to the high rate of violence and kidnappings that exists in both cities. In Paris, the issue is mostly for comfort, Montagna says, as long there is a potential market of female executives, professionals living in or visiting the city every week for business and they demanded a high quality service efficient, but also offers them the comfort a woman needs in these social circles.
Some of these “special accommodations” include: LCD screen, mini bar, sockets to charge your phone, internet connection, connection to charge your laptop and even occasional surface service and extra space needed to “get ready”. There are so many comforts and is so spacious the vehicle can take up to 6 passengers, men also have been seduced by this service and there is now 15% of male users. In this regard the director says he can not reject men, but the service is aimed particularly at women.
Despite being an excellent initiative, it remains controversial, in any case, if you’re in Paris you can get on one and give us your opinion

Visiting Paris is always a pleasure, even if it is for business. Rent apartments in Paris and try the new service called “Woman Cab”, you can visit the entire city from the comfort of these beautiful cars for women.
