Shebah – the Ride Share for Women

Today I used Shebah – the Ride Share for Women and Children Service.  I had a procedure in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital booked for 9.30 am.  I did not want to drive, so caught the train to Bowen Hills, and then found my Shebah App on my phone and booked a car.

The vehicle arrived shortly on Abbotsford Road, and I climbed in to meet the lovely Jenny, who was originally from South Korea.  (We chatted a bit about Korea, as I had taught there for a few months, back in 2009).  She delivered me safely to the RBH and the payment and receipt process worked efficiently!  Amazing.

The charge was ok – perhaps slightly more than I paid recently in a taxi, but I’d walked some distance before it picked me up.

The Procedure

I had a biopsy of my thyroid gland – all done nicely without pain or blood, with a lovely nurse and a great doctor.  I was soon out and needing a lift back to Bowen Hills Station.

Shebah Driver Number Two

The second driver had to come a longer distance – she was actually on the other side of the river, but a delightful lady appeared for my second Shebah ride.  It was not a long trip, and the fee was fair, slightly less than the earlier trip, but the route was slightly different as there are one-way streets to travel in that area.

Santa visited me on the train home after my Shebah ride.

I’m hooked on Shebah

Shebah has only been operating for a short while. I wondered if I would have to wait long for “my” car.  The second one took a little longer – but I was able to get some much-needed coffee before my ride!

I certainly was very happy with the service and I will not only use them again, but will tell everyone about the service.
