Kerala to launch 'She Taxi' service

The Kerala government is all set to roll out "She Taxi", a 24X7 all-women taxi service, as part of its women's empowerment programme and to ensure their safe journey.

"Safe, secure and responsible" travel for women is the main objective of the programme, being launched by the "Gender Park", an institution under the Department of Social Justice.

The pilot project will be launched with a fleet of five cars in Thiruvananthapuram on November 19 and the programme will be extended to Kochi and Kozhikode in the next phase.
