New application

But carpooling can sometimes lead to unpleasant surprises, especially for women. Thus, two students from Rouen decided to create an app dedicated exclusively to them. It’s called Drive Lady and is in development Camille Cottar and Valentin Mage, two students of the Neoma School of Business and Management, one of whose campuses is located in the city of Normandy. Purpose of this application: offer safer travel for women and reduce the risk of physical and verbal aggression from male passengers.

Still in the draft

With the support of their school, two students explain to the Parisian that he ” there is no program dedicated entirely to women. Even if someone suggests checking the “women only” box to find a female driver, you may still find yourself in a car with a man“. At the moment, the program is still a work in progress, but is supported more than a hundred subscribers on his special Facebook page. Its operation will be similar to the operation of such systems as BlaBlaCar, for example.
