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 think it is more probable than not that you are right, but easily conceivable that you are wrong. What if, **for example, ** it was shown that men were more likely to victimize someone on impulse with 0 planning, while women would plan it out and therefore use the gender preference system?
Yeah, I guess you need to bring up a source for this. Btw I live in Germany, so find one for my country.
