A ride-sharing service for women has launched in US and will roll out to other major Boston cities later in the year. Safr will connect female drivers with female passengers and aims to enable women to take part more fully in the $9bn ride-sharing economy. Despite rapid growth in the business, less than a quarter of drivers on ride-sharing platforms are women, and they make on average 34% less than male drivers. In addition, fewer women use the service as passengers. Safr will offer a range of benefits to its drivers, including an equity programme and a financial planning service.
