Scooter cabs

Great story out of Egypt about a company, called Cabi, that uses motorcycles and scooters as taxis in the congested streets of Alexandria. When I first read the story my immediate response was cabs like that would be difficult for women in a country where women have to be careful on the streets. But I was heartened to see in the video that the vehicles are built with a separation between rider and passenger and more heartened to read that there's talk of female riders so women can feel comfortable with a quicker way through traffic. Seems like an idea that could be transplanted to other large cities.
