Uber has rolled out its women-driver option nationwide in the U.S., giving women riders more ability to request or prefer a woman driver.
On paper, it makes sense as a safety and comfort feature. At the same time, it raises practical questions too. In a lot of markets, especially late at night, there may not be enough women drivers for it to work the way people expect.
So I’m curious what people think.
Does this feel like a real safety improvement, or more like a feature that sounds better than it will work in practice in most areas?
