How old is she?
From about 10 yrs up I would send a DD in a taxi if it was an urgent situation.
Order one to where she is - I think I am correct that Bar Ilan taxis does not have Arab drivers (might be wrong).
On the other hand, if it's the same travel time by bus and by car, why can't she get a bus?

Yes, taxis are safe.
A taxi ride for 50 minutes is going to be expensive. If there is little difference in travel time, I would recommend getting a bus.

Presuming she is in seminary for sure. I wouldn’t send a kid younger than 12 alone and make sure she uses a Jewish taxi

This. Check if bus/light rail is possible.

Gett is an app in Israel like Uber. Pick Gett mehadrin for a Jewish driver.
I don't know if a 50 min ride is worth it. Busses and light rail is super efficient there.

How do girls without smartphones or texting get taxis in Israel?
Does Gett have a number to call to order it?
Is Gett only Jewish drivers?
Do they take debit/credit cards or just cash?

They phone the taxi station and order a taxi just like in the olden days before the invention of apps

Only if she phones the taxi and orders it. She should never flag a taxi down if she's by herself. There are a few companies that only use Jewish drivers. Her seminary should know.

Gett mehadrin works over the regular gett app and when you order there is a button for shomer shabbat I think it sais. This is zhe way to get a jewish driver

The same way as everyone else who has a kosher phone. Call the company and order.

Thank you, ladies. What are the numbers for Jewish taxis in Yerushalayim?
Will they take to Beit shemesh? (I know, she can take a bus, I prefer a car service now)

You'll have to ask. They don't always like driving to a different city, because that normally means they have to come back without a fare.
If you're talking about tomorrow, erev Yom Tov, after about midday they move to a higher price schedule, and it will be a lot more expensive. (This is standard on erev Shabbos and after about 10:00pm during the week.)
The later you leave it the more chance of traffic jams, and the less willing the driver will be to travel. He also wants to get home for Yom Tov.

When I end up using a taxi I usually use a woman driver
Most chareidi taxis have female opinions
It cost a bit more though
