That would help women who, like Parveen Bibi, want to zip around town making a living and making life easier.

Bibi is her family's sole earner since the death of her husband, and although she only drives during the day, for safety reasons, she says customers are pleased to use the service.

"Women passengers are happy that they can now travel with a female tri-auto driver and feel comfortable," she says.
