I know some people get big feelings about being able to request women drivers, but I was really relieved to have that option especially since this is a novel experience.

Oh, that's big. Even setting aside the idea of how men might act towards me personally, I'd just feel safer on the road in general. I've had some road ragers lately 🙄

    That's the reason why I used to heave a sigh of relief here when taking a taxi and seeing a woman driver. The men in Wuhan drive like the laws of physics are just suggested guidelines. The women drive far more sanely.

    Weirdly it was the opposite in buses until all the bus lines got taken over by the state and turned into one service with strict standards for driver behaviour. (Ask me about the plastic cups.) In those days the women drivers were far more aggressive than the men on average. Nowadays the drivers are far more uniform in behaviour no matter what the gender.
