Riders
- Request on-demand: When requesting a trip on demand, women riders will see an option called Women Drivers. If the wait time is longer than anticipated, they can always opt for another ride with a faster pickup.
- Reserve in advance: For more planning and certainty, women riders can use Reserve to pre-book a trip with women drivers.
- Set a preference: Riders can set a preference for a woman driver in their app settings. While it’s not guaranteed, turning on the Women preference increases your chances of being matched with a woman driver.
For Drivers
Women drivers can simply toggle on the “Women Rider Preference” in their app settings. If they want to receive trip requests from all riders, they can turn the preference off at any time.
Literally the same plot from Bojack Horseman
Next we will see men requesting women drivers specifically, probably followed by the company not actually mediating these interactions.
In the show the company sides with the men who want women drivers exclusively and then it becomes less of a transportation service and more of an “escort service”.
I dunno… I get the motivation but this feels pretty discriminatory.
I’m not mad. A really drunk guy got handsy with my wife when she was driving years ago. She busted his nose and dragged him out of the car in stop and go traffic and left him.
Can I request only men drivers?
Don’t be sexist.
wondering if they will include me as a trans woman
I would certainly hope so.
Cool, I expect demand for female drivers is to increase a lot.
In ideal world that would not be needed, but if that increases woman safety, that’s a good thing.
I think I’ve had like 3 female Uber drivers ever.
Unrelated, but one of those 3 closed the window I had opened (because she was too cheap to turn on the fucking AC) on my hand. Fuck that bitch.
