New Driver Feature

Submitted 6 years ago

I've been thinking about an UBER feature and I was hoping that you might know someone to make this suggestion to, since the company doesn't have suggestion boxes and they don't take unsolicited suggestions.

Basically, my wife doesn't let our girls take UBER mostly because of male drivers. Wouldn't it be great if customers could use a filter on the App and ask for female drivers?

Teenage girls solutions have been, since Lyft seems to have more female drivers, or it seems that way in LA, my daughter's friends cancel male drivers until a female driver shows up on the App.

I've been talking to female drivers and most of them don't drive late at night since they don't want drunk or strange men in their cars during late hours.

Our female employees and friends feel more comfortable getting a ride from female drivers late at night as well, especially when intoxicated or if they want to ride alone.

A female request filter will increase the number of female drivers at night and will add more users like my daughters and will make the women more comfortable riding late at night.

UBER might be thinking of this already.
