Were I a woman passenger I'd trust them to be paying more attention to the road & other traffic than on my cleavage.

Also less likely to be prattling incessantly on their mobile, making inane conversation laced with sexual innuendo..... or choking you with tobacco fumes.

They're far less likely to have foreign men pumping them full of alcohol before they get behind the wheel.

Of all the people who should stuff a sock in it on this topic, it's you Brian.

I don't have any numbers but you might find more info in the links below, one link mentions the Cairo Cab Company and Enass Hammam, one of six female cab drivers who works for them.
