The tagline of GoSafr is “Transforming Neighborhood into Sisterhood”.  It is specifically targeted for women, not just to provide them with a secure ride but also empower them by providing them with job opportunities.

Safr claims that their drivers are paid more than the standard industry rates so it asks individuals to join hands with them.

In the tough competition of ride sharing apps in Pakistan with Careem, Uber & similar options for people would Safr make its mark or will it be a failure?
