Pink Taxis

Nisrin Akoubeh checks the oil and water before getting into her taxi and pulling into Amman's heavy traffic for another day of shuttling fellow women across the Jordanian capital.

These women dressed in pink are the drivers of Penntaxi, the brand new fleet of taxis in Chennai that caters exclusively to female passengers.

Fleets of "pink" taxis, driven by women, are cruising the streets of Middle East cities, providing a safe and comfortable ride for women wary of getting into taxis driven by men.
