This kind of agenda reporting is what gives mainstream news its fake-news reputation. A editor would make sure that the journalist put this into context (some simple math as the poster above has shown) and also have dug up some comparable statistics on taxis. It could be that taxis are 3x as dangerous for women and now the writer has put even more women in danger by steering them away from Uber toward taxis.
