Uber launched a feature Monday to allow both women riders and drivers across the U.S. to be matched with other women for trips, expanding a pilot program aimed at addressing concerns about the safety of its ride-hailing platform.
The new feature is being rolled out nationwide despite an ongoing class action lawsuit against the policy in California, filed by Uber drivers who argue that it discriminates against men. Rival ride-hailing company Lyft is facing a discrimination lawsuit over a similar offering that it introduced nationwide in 2024.
If you think this is fine in the name of safety, how about a white-only option?
No one has issues with women requesting female doctors. What’s your issue with women trying to be safer while traveling?
I don’t have an issue with it. But wouldn’t that also apply to white people traveling?
