Reddit.

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.

I never understood this fear.

Always seems weird when people are more worried about accusations than sexual assault/harassement. The latter seems far more common ime, even if you are seen as a guy.

I think it's a perspective thing.

Men are less likely to perceive themselves as potential SA victims (regardless of actual numbers): so the relative subjective "chance" of false accusationsagainst them vs being victims themselves impacts their priorities.
