More than a taxi. A movement to keep women moving.

Pink Taxi was born from a simple belief: that every woman in Egypt deserves to travel safely, freely and with dignity — and that women can build that future for one another.

The founder "

I wanted to build a company where a woman could get in a car and simply feel safe — and where another woman earns her living doing the driving.

Dr. Reem Fawzy founded Pink Taxi to solve a problem she saw every day: women across Egypt going without safe, reliable transport — and talented women going without dignified work.

Under her leadership, Pink Taxi has grown from an idea into a women-only mobility network that trains female captains, teaches women to drive, and moves families, students and professionals safely across the country — while championing women's health and independence at every turn.

The journey

From one car to a movement.

Every milestone has meant more women safe on the road — and more women earning behind the wheel.

The beginning

A first fleet, an all-female promise

Pink Taxi launches with a simple, radical idea — women driving women — and an unwavering safety standard from day one.

Growth

Recurring contracts change daily life

Families discover the monthly school-run contract. Schools, nurseries and companies follow. Routine transport becomes effortless and safe.

Empowerment

Teaching women to drive

The driving-lessons programme opens the road to women who never had the chance to learn — many of whom go on to become captains.

Today

A recognised national brand

Featured across Egyptian and regional media, Pink Taxi stands for safe mobility, women's employment and a healthier, more independent future.

Social impact

Pink is our colour. It's also our cause.

Every Pink Taxi ride does more than get someone home. It funds women's health, creates women's jobs, and puts women in the driver's seat — literally.

Breast cancer awareness

A share of every fare supports breast cancer awareness and screening campaigns — because the women we drive are the women we want to protect.

Jobs & independence for women

Every captain we train and employ is a woman building an independent income — and a more confident future for her family.

In the media

A story Egypt is talking about.

From international networks to the region's biggest outlets, Pink Taxi and Dr. Reem Fawzy have been featured as a model for women's safety and empowerment.
