“The female-only ridesharing app Chariot For Women still has a few days before its April 19 launch in Boston, but men are already calling it out for being "discriminatory." In an attempt at empowerment and safety, only women (cisgender and transgender), children under 13 years old, and non-binary people can ride or drive (excluding children for the latter).
Former Uber driver Michael Pelletz came up with the app after having a negative encounter with a very drunk male rider, and when his wife expressed fear over becoming a female Uber driver, according to LAist. Plus, sexual assault in car services and taxis is a widespread and real problem.”
