Lively Livery

"There are times when I don’t want to get in a taxi because I’m alone and the man can be intimidating, especially if it’s nighttime and I’ve had too much to drink,” said Ms. Cantillo, 31, a makeup artist who booked her third ride with the service in a week.

Now, Ms. Cantillo said, she no longer has to worry, and even felt comfortable enough in the back seat of a livery car last week to change into a dress and a pair of heels — something she never would have done with a man in the driver’s seat. “This is definitely going to be my go-to service,” she said.
