That's all fine and dandy until Ghisalane Maxwell shows up as your driver...

How do you know its not a pretender? Uber will bow to the wokeness and have dudes pretending to be chicks

Only way I can see this working is if you allow female drivers to cancel rides on the spot at their own discretion…which sounds like an argument, fight and/or lawsuit waiting to happen.

As a guy with daughters and a wife, I fully support being able to select a female driver though.

Uber knows what a woman is?

They chose a bear in the woods over a guy. They don’t understand safe decision making

What if I want a white driver? This is illegal and will get shot down. A lot of Jeets will be big mad.

See how easy that is to get around.


Talk about giving a response that makes no sense in regard to the OP.

$5 cheaper for a woman driver? I'd assuming that would eventually work its way down to what the driver earns, yes? That's roughly .75 on the dollar to the comfort (men) option. This feels wage gappy . Unless there is another economy option not being shown.


Youre comparing to Uber Comfort price.

Dude it’s not an option for the driver to pick up only women, it’s an option for women to be picked up BY a woman.

Right, and what I said makes it easy for a guy pretending to be a woman to get a woman driver. It could be putting women drivers at risk because a woman (or someone posing as a woman) can guarantee a female driver.

ETA I’m just saying it’s not a guarantee for the selected female driver to be picking up a woman. It’s not fool proof.

Allegedly making it safer for the passenger while potentially exposing something putting female drivers at risk.

There's always going to be some risk in a service like Uber, but besides the obvious point that the purpose is for the rider to select a female driver and not the other way around, if you were to try that I'd imagine 100% of drivers would refuse to unlock their doors or just roll on past you looking for a woman passenger. But it does sound like a great way for you to get yourself and your wife perma-banned from the platform.

So now we have finally defined what a woman is? Why is she getting paid less than a man driver? I will always request the woman driver from now on to save money

Seems sexist. What if a single guy wants a woman driver?
