NEW YORK: The debut of a livery car service providing women drivers for female passengers in the New York City area has stalled over lack of a sufficent number of drivers, the founder of the service said on Monday. 

In a news conference on the steps of City Hall in Manhattan, Stella Mateo, the founder of SheTaxis/SheRides, said the launch of the service, which was scheduled for Sept 16, has been delayed until a total of 500 women drivers can be recruited.
