A rideshare service just for women

Smith and Yap (back, right) say the Carriage app will come with an SOS button for both drivers and passengers.

Getting into a car with a stranger continues to be an iffy affair, even as ridesharing services improve safety measures. However, Carriage For Her attempts to make it more comfortable for women by ­making the service open only to them.

“The idea started when many of our female friends ­complained about feeling unsafe due to a lack of women drivers,” says its chief operating officer Nick Smith.
