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 wish I could opt out of interacting with men in more parts of society. Kind of crazy they weren't doing this sooner.

this smells like a setup for some legal strategy against trans-folks.

but it still seems like a good idea.

can i have only uber rides from drivers with a credit rating under 600 ? rich people are scary af.
