Should female Uber passengers have the option to request a female driver to avoid assault or harassment?

I think there should be a different service of the same company called as “ Uber girls “ , I think even female drivers would feel safer that way . I know drivers who have been robbed by passengers.

@SW-User That is a possible solution, however, if people are concerned about male drivers, the males they are concerned about might target "Uber Girls"?

@Zeusdelight If the driver and the fares are at least given the option to choose who they want to do business with, then the male passengers will only be paired with female drivers who are happy to carry them.

Given society today, there's a chance that there are male drivers out there who might not feel comfortable with female passengers, too.
