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.

I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.

It's not. You as an employee or contractor aren't entitled to a particular client being assigned to you against that clients wishes. Customers are allowed to pick their contractor

Alhamdulillah, the women are imposing Sharia upon themselves.

So does this mean there is going to gender verification to go along with age verification?

Seems like something that would happen in this timeline.

Here we go, with a whole bunch more trans controversy.

Yep, basically where I was going with this.

I'd say "don't give Republicans any ideas" but they're not reading Lemmy comments so you're good

Lyft been doing this since last year too. In Chicago our group of 5 was told to have our two men seated in the back row because the driver wasn't comfortable with men. We were confused but the driver knew the ride was requested by a woman in our group and therefore assumed the whole group for the Lyft XL would be women I guess?

Very fair nowadays, you should never trust anyone, and our society should be based on anti-trust. Humans lost their trust license, and only some sort of genetic engineering project on a massive scale would be able to fix that.

I perfectly understand why women are intimidated by men, some strong, potentially entitled guy can do god knows what to you if he chooses violence.

Why leave it to chance?
