BPO and Female Cab Driver

To make women working in BPOs feel safe, there is a plan to employ female cab drivers.Do you think that this experiment will work?

Lostpatrol53 says: what about the safety of women cabbies?

Virtualscorpio says: I dont think this is a practical. Its like throwing out the baby with the water. no solution.This cud lead to having 2 victims instead of only 1.

Naveen AKA Guy_On_Black_YBX says: Was bout say the same as LP ji. BTW how many of these drivers would willing to drive at night. I mean number of women drivers vs number of Men

Lionking says: i heard that these women cab drivers are given courses of self defence like karate, etc. but, as naveen mentioned ... these women cab drivers should be tried in the day shifts first ... and after seeing their results ... they can be tried in around the clock. in hyd, we have women conductors in the state transport busses ... so i dont see why there would be any problem for women in daylight. but, sure this is going to be quite a risky proposition both for the cab service operators and the women cab drivers themselves. the best part in the service is that the drivers are given their own walky talky so that they can remain in touch with the control room ... and possible with the police.

Niceguy251says: There is no harm in trying this but this is purely a knee jerk reaction. There are definitely more adequate ways to ensure safety of women employees with male drivers too if one really wants to do so. But even simple safeguards are overlooked due to cutting corners for saving expences.
