A new women-only ride sharing service is set to arrive in Perth in early 2017, vowing to make women and young girls feel more comfortable about travelling with strangers.

SheSafe will run similarly to Uber with a smartphone application from which passengers can select their destination, view different fares and choose the time they want to be picked up.

Emma Buchanan started SheSafe after friends expressed concerns about travelling with male drivers.

The difference is, the drivers will be strictly women and the passengers will be women or boys under 12 years of age.

The service's founder, Emma Buchanan, said SheSafe was not at all about being discriminatory, it was about the safety and concern of passengers.
