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

At that point they'd need to have proof the customer is actually female too because men will pretend to be females to end up with a female driver (I'm not sure if Uber does verify already anyways).

@Turtlepower To my knowledge it verifies drivers but not passengers

@Spectra I think it would be nice to protect the safety of both but either way I agree with your idea. It should be an option for sure

@Turtlepower good point, look how many pretend to be women on here!

@SW-User it’s just seems dangerous for the female drivers, unless it can be verified both ways.
