PINK TAXIS CATER ONLY TO WOMAN

Mexico is also catering to fed-up females. A new fleet of pink taxis is driven by women, and they don’t stop for men. The cabs cater to women tired of male drives who try to flirt with them or make inappropriate suggestions. Each new taxi comes with a beauty kit, a GPS system and an alarm button.
