Uber making it easier for women riders and drivers to find each other
Briefly

Uber is enhancing its Women Rider Preference feature, initially introduced in 2019, to improve safety for women travelers. Women riders can now select female drivers through a new app option when booking rides, along with an adjustable preference for all rides. Women drivers can similarly choose to accept trips only from female passengers. This initiative will be rolled out in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit. Uber emphasizes identity verification for both riders and drivers as a key safety measure.
The Women Rider Preference feature allows women to request female drivers more easily, providing an option to choose a woman driver when booking a ride.
Uber aims to reduce risks for female riders by offering the ability to select women drivers, acknowledging past instances of sexual violence in their cars.
