Uber launches nationwide women-only ride-matching to boost safety, following user demand and legal concerns.
Uber has rolled out a nationwide women-only ride-matching feature in the U.S., allowing female riders to request female drivers and female drivers to opt for female passengers, expanding a pilot program aimed at improving safety and comfort.
The feature, accessible through the app’s “Women Drivers” option, lets users set preferences, reserve rides in advance, or switch to another option if a female driver isn’t available quickly.
The move follows similar efforts by Lyft and comes amid a California class-action lawsuit alleging gender discrimination, which Uber disputes, arguing it serves a public safety interest.
The company cites past legal cases involving sexual assault and says the feature responds to user feedback, though availability varies by location due to limited numbers of female drivers.
Uber lanza en todo el país viajes combinados solo para mujeres para aumentar la seguridad, siguiendo la demanda de los usuarios y las preocupaciones legales.
