apparently some chee-hong passengers making women drivers uncomfortable. Grab tests new feature pairing women drivers with women passengers SINGAPORE: Grab is testing a new feature that allows its women drivers to indicate if they would prefer to pick up women passengers. The feature aims to increase safety for its women drivers, and is among other initiatives announced at the launch of its Women Programme, which seeks to lower barriers to entry for women looking to work on its platform. "Exclusive to women driver-partners only, Grab is now testing a new 'Women Passengers Preferred BETA' feature," said the ride-hailing platform on Wednesday (Mar 6) in a news release. "The feature enables women partners to indicate their preference for women passengers. When the feature is toggled on, it increases the chances of matching a woman driver-partner with a woman passenger, if there is a woman passenger in the vicinity." This offers an additional layer of safety while providing options for women drivers and users who would feel more comfortable driving or taking a ride with a woman, said Grab. Noting that its partner community is male-dominated, it added that more needs to be done to increase women participation on its platform. "Our new Women Programme aims to empower women to take up platform work by addressing their unique concerns around safety and dispelling the notion that driving is not suitable for them."

Recently managed to upgrade my cell to one that can pair with Columbus. Got a Nokia 8500, pairing was successful and phone book transfered ok. However, after I off the engine and got out of the car, the cell phone contacts are gone leaving me a msg "contacts from selected memories not available". I had to off and on the cell phone again before the contact library comes back. I vaguely thought I'd read this somewhere (can't remember in Briskoda, Mycar or VAG forum) quite some time back. Any bro here can give me the solution instead of off and on my phone everytime I get off the car?
