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.
Good
preference, let me drive.
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.
Fair.
Alhamdulillah, the women are imposing Sharia upon themselves.
I get it, but it’s sad that society have come to this.
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?
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.
I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.
At least someone seems to care
It makes sense for women but it is a thin line to cross. It does border on discrimination and women drivers are not automatically safer. It does reinforce negative stereotypes about gender norms and we really need to talk about that. Though at the end of the day, a woman’s safety and peace of mind is very important. So guess there’s not much they can do but they really should make a statement about this.
They should call it Niqab Level Service and charge double.
Is there a setting where women can choose a bear preference?
Now add a “Chatty Cathy” / “Leave me the fuck alone, don’t worry I’ll still give you a tip as long as we don’t have to talk” option.
