Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
We're exploring the idea of launching a taxi service in Berlin specifically for women, including members of the Finta community. We are looking to gather feedback to understand the needs and preferences of potential customers. The survey will take 10-15 minutes, and your responses will be 100% anonymous (no personal data needed). [Site admin redacted link]

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
Your survey mentions "women only taxi service".
Isn't that the same as a park bench with a plate stating "White people only"?
Or a "Kneipe" with a sign "Nur für Deutsche"?

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
OK. I looked it up-
FINTA* The German acronym FINTA* stands for »Frauen, intergeschlechtliche, nicht-binäre, trans und agender«: women, →intersex, →non-binary, →trans and →agender people. It refers to people who are discriminated against in the →patriarchy.
What I don't get is why they need their own taxi service.

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
Based upon Fruity`s research, I would say that the concept is too complicated . It also discriminates against men!
Why not simply make a name for yourselves driving these people around and let verbal marketing do the rest for you?
On the other hand, I could imagine that you might also attract the wrong sort of attention dealing with this kind of market. If somebody has a hatred of anything other than 1000% straight, they might come after the company transporting these people around.
just a thought, y´know?

Probably they want to collect some tax payer's money from the Government.Robinson100 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 8:28 pm Based upon Fruity`s research, I would say that the concept is too complicated . It also discriminates against men!

It looks like it is easier if they include all of the colors they can think of into their idea.
I didn't know that Berlin is that unsafe, it is Germany.

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
When ordering Uber or taxi, I've never been asked what my sexual orientation is. I'm very curious about why there is a need for such a thing.
Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
At least for the non-conformance genders there might be a reason, most of the taxi drivers in Berlin belong to ethnicities and nationalities that are very conservative and some might discriminate against them. But safety for women I am not sure that is needed. Anyway the whole thing is probably a bad idea, as a business I mean.

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
Most cities have night time taxi service for woemn (and now diverse). Inside city limits, very cheap.kams_dos wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 4:04 pm We're exploring the idea of launching a taxi service in Berlin specifically for women, including members of the Finta community.

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
Hmm. Like the Berlin taxi drivers you mention, come from countries that totally respect women, right? Taxi drivers can target drunk women. In UK it is usually not the black cab drivers. Guys even pretend to be taxis or Ubers or whatever. Black cabs are safer, but google John Worboys (100 rape victims). A friend of mine woke up with the driver on top of her, wrenching he knickers down. He gave up. The wine bar she had been in had called a Black cab for her. From then on, they always took note of the taxi number, and number plate, and let the driver know they were doing it.Krieg wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 10:06 am At least for the non-conformance genders there might be a reason, most of the taxi drivers in Berlin belong to ethnicities and nationalities that are very conservative and some might discriminate against them.

Uber does that automatically when you order one - number plate, make and color of car, driver's name and they have GPS tracking. I thought taxis did the same but I haven't ordered one in a while. If I flag one, I take a photo of the driver's ID in plain sight.

Do you mean cheaper for women than for men, etc.? That sounds discriminatory.

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
Remembers me of a business trip to Dubai. I was waiting outside my apartment trying to get a taxi. A female taxi driver was driving around the block. I tried to get this taxi, but she didn‘t stop when I waived her. After she drove like 3 rounds around the block and I waived the whole time, she briefly pulled over explaining that she only takes female passengers .

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
The service is only for women and girls (with a now broader meaning). And it is cheap, 6 Euro here in HD city limits. And sure, it is clearly discriminatory. I would guess it only stands as no one has challenged it? There is also a very cheap night bus. My son cannot get that as he working as a bouncer and tends to meet drunk guys he has kicked out. He rents a scooter.
Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community
It appears as if the OP only created an account on this forum and only logged in once to pitch the external survey for his/her business idea (with the intent to realize a profit)...
