When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

    Dunno what specifically they do that’s weird around the dropoff but as a former Uber driver, I was just trying to make things as convenient as possible/get a good rating and/or tip from a clean and easy drop-off

      In your defense, Former Uber Driver, I’ve never noticed any difference in the cleanliness or behavior of drivers. They seem to always have cars much newer and cleaner than mine and they are always friendly and professional. Maybe it is different in that other guy’s city.

      I get that, but some of them take it too far. Like fighting traffic to get as close to the door as physically possible, such that it actually takes longer than if I had just been dropped at the corner and walked the half block or whatever.

      It would take a lot of bullshit for me to not give 5 stars, but I know not every rider will be like that!
