Dear Wellness Seekers,

Good News Monday: New Women’s Cab Service Alternative Timely Arrival in New York are welcome solution. And India’s New Pink Cabs for Women are sign of things to come. Spanista just discovered this good news and loves advocating innovative ways to assure personal safety as an Essential Self Care Practice.

As an Adventurer who travels to far off places for business and pleasure, I have frequently wondered how best to get from one location to another while alone. Especially in countries where the custom is to drive on the opposite side of the road or where the I do not have any command of the local language so I choose not to drive myself.  What is the right choice? Every woman or man needs to be keenly aware of safety.

A couple of years ago while attending a conference at Intel in San Francisco, I was told about Uber which had taken off in California so downloaded the Ap. I have turned to it when needed. Uber certainly has become a go to solution but is not always quicker or affordable. Uber is controversial for a few reasons beyond that and somehow still leaves me wishing for a better way.

I maybe making a trip to Northern India in the coming year because I am now having conversations with a new Foundation in New Delhi looking to apply into the humanitarian work I am doing as Board Member.  It is a new destination for me. While researching travel there, I was pleased to discover Meru Eve, dedicated to serving women riders. As pictured here, these Meru Eve women drivers wear pink and pilot white and pink hatchbacks making them easy to spot in the huge congested city. Dedicated women driver services are especially topical after a reported incident last month where a woman was allegedly raped by an Uber car driver in New Delphi. One wonders why this style of solution has taken time to emerge. Relieved – It will be my choice while there.

Once I discovered Meru Eve, I decided to explore such services in the US and came onto She Rides. She Rides, as a  is a new driver service for women available in New York. Who knew?

In NYC, the ease of hailing a local taxi has long been the acceptable solution, but honestly this is a move I sometimes regretted especially at night where a few times I found myself holding my breath in silent prayer while I whizzed down empty streets, winding down side streets I was not familiar with, hoping I would get to my stop safely. Glad to say I did. And sometimes during late evenings entertaining clients, I would think twice about simply catching a cab to get off the streets. Now I have a new choice.

Good News Monday: New Women’s Cab Service Alternative Timely Arrival is about informing women that these services are available. Spanista fancies that women realize offering a business for women’s safety is a smart alternative some women want for their own comfort. Please pass this news on to women who would benefit from it.

Would love to know, has anyone used such a service? Would you share your story for the benefit of others who travel please?

To You Self Care Journey To Joy,

Ginny
