I agree with both you and Kellie. I would not only hail a pink cab, I would wait for one as other traditional taxis passed me by. And that''s just from the point of view of supporting the women driving the cab and the person who thought of the business. If I lived in a country where I knew even a male taxi driver would probably harass me, I would find such relief in this being an option.
It may not address the sexual harassment per se, but I'm willing to guess that when the pink taxi service is a wild success, hiring more and more women and purchasing more and more cabs, that the power of the dollar will help change behavior in areas where legislating and peer pressure simply can't.
