When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

Driving for one of these companies is a hard wash anyways. I'm glad women can get out safe though. Personally I don't care who picks me up, I can small talk with anyone and not be threatening. I have 4 daughters and a wife. I don't need more women drama.

give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this

These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. "What about me?" cries the incel.

I'm fine with this if they allow male drivers to avoid women clients.

If you're a male driver trying to avoid women clients, you don't have to worry as the women are likely already avoiding you.

All I did was literally agree.

Uber ~~driver~~ car babysitter shows up, you get in driver seat, drive to destination, return car to Uber ~~driver~~ person.

Foolproof.

I get it, but it's sad that society have come to this.
