Uber's New Feature in the U.S. Makes Ride-sharing Safer for Female Riders and Drivers
Briefly

Uber is launching Women Preference settings in the U.S. to provide female riders and drivers greater safety and choice. This feature, beginning in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit, allows women to request trips with female drivers or opt to be matched with women. It aims to increase accessibility, especially during nighttime rides, and unlock more earning opportunities for female drivers. The feature has already been successful in 40 countries, emphasizing the importance of improving safety and experience for women on the platform.
Uber's Women Preference setting will come to the U.S. in August, starting with Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit before rolling out to more cities.
This setting will make Uber more accessible, especially for those using it late at night, unlocking more earning opportunities for female drivers.
After hearing from women riders and drivers around the world, it was clear: Many want the option to match with other women.
When we make our platform better for women, we make it better for everyone.
