I'm sorry, maybe it's my white male cis privilege speaking, but I don't see how minority-run service can ever be a realistic solution. Well, it could be if you live in London, New York, San Francisco, or a few other global cities large enough that the minority population can provide the services you need. But that could never be a solution for smaller places where there may be at best a few, for instance, LGBTQ taxi drivers (if any).
What you want is a service that will take steps to prevent any mistreatment (e.g. in car cameras) and that has a strong reputation for taking complaints seriously.
And while this may not apply directly to women (definitely not a minority) I still feel that requiring prevention and accountability is a much better solution than segregation.
