In 2019, Rosy and Pink Cars application for a female and children only taxi booking office licence in Glasgow was rejected on the basis it was discriminatory towards men. The story attracted a lot of media attention in Scotland and was also discussed on local radio and television.
Glasgow City Council recently rejected plans to start a women's only taxi service. This was on the basis that it was discriminatory towards men, something that has sparked frustration with those who support the idea. We caught up with the Rosey and Pink Taxi App to find out what they were offering and whether there is a need for a female focused service in Glasgow.
