Dinorah De Cruz drives through Queens on her way to the SheRide livery office, Monday, Sept. 15, 2014, in New York.

Less than 3 percent of the city's 115,000 licensed taxi, livery and limousine drivers are women, and that can be a problem for women who are reluctant to get into a cab alone with a male driver because of safety concerns or religious and social mores.
