Lyft is introducing a new feature that lets women and non-binary riders choose a preference to match with drivers of the same gender.
The ride-hailing company said it was a “highly requested feature” in a blog post Tuesday, saying the new feature allows women and non-binary people to “feel that much more confident” in using Lyft and also hopefully encourage more women to sign up to be drivers to access its “flexible earning opportunities.”
The service, called “Women+ Connect,” is rolling out in the coming months. Riders can turn on the option in the Lyft app, however the company warns that it’s not a guarantee that they’ll be matched with a women or non-binary person if one of those people aren’t nearby. Both the riders and drivers will need to opt-in to the feature for it work and riders must chose a gender for it to work.
“I’ll keep letting women decide who they’re comfortable to be around.”
Show me one comment in this thread that contradicts this statement. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Thats right, you can’t. Because no one here is actually saying the thing you’re accusing them of saying. You’ve done nothing but build your own strawman and tear it right back down. Congratulations, I guess?
Should I do that so they have a real fight instead of strawman?
