Indonesia has recently launched a new motorcycle-taxi service that caters to Muslim women who have reservations regarding riding with men they are not married to.
The new company requires all its drivers to wear hijabs and loose clothing, and to own a motorcycle and an Android-based phone to respond to bookings made online.
According to reports, the Islamic Taxi began operating in March, and although it was solely reserved for Muslim women, the service has garnered interest over time among non-Muslims as well. The reports added that it covers 12 cities in Java Island, and employs around 350 drivers, ranging from students to housewives.
