🌟 About This Video 🌟
Uber announced a nationwide rollout of a feature that lets women select female drivers, citing rider and driver requests for more control.

The option, branded Uber Women Preferences, is coming to New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., and lets women riders and drivers set a female driver preference, though matches are not guaranteed. The preference is also available for teens if parents choose a female driver.

Piloted in Saudi Arabia in 2019, the program has logged over 230 million trips and now reaches drivers in 40+ countries and riders in seven, including the U.S., Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, Brazil, and Spain. It follows prior lawsuits and complements 2024 safety features such as in‑app audio recording, live location sharing, and ride deviation detection. #uber #womensafety #transportation #womenempowerment #rideshare
