For women in Subang and Petaling Jaya, getting around just became safer and more affordable, thanks to a new initiative by Sarah, a local driver who launched a women-only carpool service.
Driving her trusted Perodua Myvi, Sarah aims to provide female passengers with a comfortable and secure travel experience. Her initiative comes in response to increasing concerns about the safety of women using ride-hailing services.
"I've read too many stories of women feeling uncomfortable or unsafe during their rides, and I don't want that to happen to anyone anymore! So, I started my little girl carpool," Sarah shared in a post. She emphasized that transportation is a common challenge for many women, particularly at night or after work, and she hopes her service can ease that burden.
Her carpool route includes popular shopping malls, making it especially convenient for after-work trips. The locations she covers include:
Sunway Pyramid
DA MEN Mall
Summit USJ Mall
Main Place Mall
Subang Parade
Additionally, she also serves key areas such as:
SS15
Taipan
Sunway Mentari
Sarah can accommodate up to four passengers per trip, with fares starting at just RM5. As an extra touch, she provides snacks for her riders, ensuring a pleasant journey.
Her initiative has received overwhelming support from women who appreciate having a safer transportation alternative. Due to the growing demand, Sarah has created a WhatsApp group for those interested in booking rides and staying updated on availability.
With her thoughtful approach and commitment to safety, Sarah is making a real difference for women in Subang and PJ, proving that sometimes, the best solutions come from within the community.
