I don’t mean to diminish this in any way. Obviously this needs to be investigated and people held accountable. But I am curious what an investigation on regular cab companies would come up with. I’m not a lady, but have heard some stories and don’t really want my daughters taking cabs either.

Hell, the germ theory of disease (though existent) didn’t really start to be accepted until much of the way through the Victorian era.
