However, Uber said that the company “cannot guarantee that all users you are matched with while using this feature will be women, or appear in a way that would identify as a woman.”

“At Uber, we believe that when we make our platform better for women, we make it better for everyone. Across the US, women riders and drivers have told us they want the option to be matched with other women on trips.

According to Uber, women drivers will also benefit from the new rollout, which will provide them with the option to request trips with women riders, “including during peak earning hours like evenings.”

Uber’s Women Rider Preference was first launched in Saudi Arabia in 2019, following a landmark ruling allowing women to drive. The feature has since expanded to 40 countries, completing over 100 million trips, the company said.
