Another Saudi initiative?

According to a new ruling from the Edah Charedit,
“It is [forbidden] for women to drive taxis... It is pritzut [licentiousness]. The Beit Din ruled two weeks ago that women are not allowed to work as taxi drivers.”
The cause of this unusual ruling (I can’t think of many other professions, other than prostitution and according to some, the military, that women have been explicitly forbidden from entering) was an enterprising Haredi woman, who persuaded a cab company in Jerusalem’s largely ultra-Orthodox suburb of Romema to let her serve their female customers. The Rabbanim initially thought this was a great idea – until the woman was sent by mistake to pick up a Neturei Karta rabbi, who couldn’t wait for another cab.
The revocation of her license was swift. But was pritzut really the reason? According to the owner of the cab company,
"We tried to present the argument that we were offering a more kosher service, but they argued the future downfall of the Jewish family if women begin to get such freedom."
Sounds more like RoMecca than Romema to me.
