Pakistan's women-only taxis eye new cities after successful roll-out in Karachi

Karachi

BRAVING whistles, catcalls and vulgar remarks, Karachi's female taxi drivers are determined to stay on the road to ferry women safely around the teeming city - from home to the office, to college and even to late-night wedding parties.

Since March, women in Pakistan's commercial hub have been able to hail the pink taxis - called Paxis - by phone, app or simply by flagging one down on the street.
