Personally I don't like it. Women have always fought for equal rights. But they also expect to get special treatment. So its a step back to the wrong direction.

Here in the Philippines. Mass Rail Transit System - MRT 2 and LRT 1 have segregated the 1st and 2nd car exclusive for women, senior citizens, disabled, pregnant women, people carrying infants and small children (men allowed).

We have a congestion problem in our mass transit system. There were a few cases of molestation and harassment of female passengers reported. Good enough for them to take action. But not good enough to convince people if they didn't add the other clauses. I have ridden the reserved car along with my 2yr. old nephew to take advantage of this. But I didn't escape the "evil eye" of women passengers.

Most people commuting from work are all tired and in most cases wont give up their seats. In our local culture. Men are supposed to give their seats to old ladies and women. But in todays modern society, filipino male chivalry hardly exist. Especially if the ratio of Women to Men is 4:1 with a national population of 80 million. I do sometimes give up my seat for pregnant women and old ladies. But not if I am dead tired and my feet is killing me!

The idea of an exclusive for women taxi is kind of moronic. It would be just another form of sexual discrimination.

1. To qualify as a Women Only Taxi driver? You must be a. Female b. Homosexual Male
2. Will it be a profitable business? Not unless you add other clauses like a. senior citizens b. Disabled (male or female) c. Men carrying infants and small children.
3. Unless your paying the driver a salary. No taxi driver would agree to work in a boundary system.

(Boundary system is a fixed amount paid by the driver to the cab company for a set time period. Driver pays for all the fuel used. He returns the cab with a full tank and a car wash. The rest of the fare earned goes to driver)
