Saudi Female-Only Ride Hailing App Sees Growth in First Year of Operations
Female-only car showrooms followed; thousands of women signed up for lessons and driving licenses, Saudi women competed in professional racing competitions and American carmaker General Motors told Arab News last month that 65 percent of the buyers for one of its models were all women.

Leena was officially granted a license by the Saudi government in April 2019 and began operations in June last year.
