There is also a babysitter service.

A new taxi service for women and children, Pink Taxi, has appeared in Kyiv. Every car is equipped with child car seats, and only women drive them. This is reported by Hmarochos. 

The child car seat taxi service became popular after the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine introduced fines in October 2019 for transporting children under 12 without car seats. Many people complained that existing taxi services had begun refusing to transport children, as not all cars were equipped with car seats.

Pink Taxi also offers a babysitter service, with a female driver who can escort a child to school, kindergarten or a club.

The international company Pink Taxi Group Ltd. was founded in the United Kingdom in 2018. The service currently operates in at least 18 countries. The idea of providing services for women only arose from the understanding of the need to guarantee them safe travel.
