To move faster without worrying … a new women’s Moto in Beirut

The movement of women on the roads of Lebanon is a daily challenge, not only the usual crowd of traffic, but rather to a growing feeling of insecurity, harassment, and the absence of comfortable and effective transportation. In light of this reality, the importance of special initiatives that provide innovative solutions to fill the void left by the absence of comprehensive public policies.

In the crowded streets of Beirut, where time is lost between crowding and waiting, a new initiative has emerged with a different imprint. After Heya Ride, the first auto reservation application is dedicated to women only in Lebanon, which would provide them with a safe transportation method, I see “Lady on Moto” light, which is the first “Moto Taxi” service devoted to women only.
The idea is based on securing a quick, comfortable and safe transportation, led by professional drivers who put the comfort and safety of the passengers in the first place, in light of the suffering that women in Beirut to move. In addition to the suffocating traffic pressure, the experience of riding a motorcycle with some men’s drivers is often uncomfortable, creating a state of tension and makes the simple journey an additional burden. Hence the idea of ​​”Lady on Moto”, to provide a practical and reliable alternative.
The service is not only limited to moving from one place to another, it is also a way that gives more psychological comfort to the bonds. Moto, or a motorcycle, is a quick way to avoid crowding, provides precious time that can be invested at work, study, or even relaxation, instead of wasting it on the roads. The distinguished element is that the driver is a woman, which enhances confidence in many customers and removes psychological barriers that some girls may face when using traditional transportation.
Besides speed, “Lady on Moto” is betting on building a supportive women community, where the passenger feels that whoever drives the vehicle shares its daily concerns and gives it a safe travel experience without worrying. This service is not considered welfare as it is a response to a realistic need in the capital’s women.
In the end, “Lady on Moto” may be a small step in the shape, but it is large in meaning. It is not just a new means of transportation, but an initiative that reflects an increasing awareness of the importance of empowering women and creating innovative solutions to their daily problems in Beirut.
So, individual initiatives once again prove that they are the only safety in the absence of official steps to protect citizens, especially women, on the roads.
