Lyft says it is ramping up its efforts to provide women and nonbinary users worry-free rides, whether they're the rider or the driver.
On Sept. 12, the ride-hailing company shared that it will roll out a new feature called Women+ Connect, that gives women and nonbinary riders the ability to request women and nonbinary riders.
“Just for your own peace of mind, the ability to choose a woman driver might be exactly the thing that allows you to say, you know what, yeah, this really is making my life better,” Lyft CEO David Risher told NBC’s Savannah Sellers in an exclusive interview that aired on TODAY.
Male predators will absolutely use this to "order" a female driver to their house to assault her. All they have to do is to claim to be be "nonbinary" and demand a female driver.
