Public sentiment is mixed regarding women’s safety in ride-hailing services, highlighting a strong advocacy for women's safety measures, including women-only options, juxtaposed against significant dissatisfaction with companies like Lyft due to recent harassment incidents. Women feel a dire need for safer alternatives, while some men express frustration over perceived inequities. The urgent call for improved safety regulations and accountability is a common thread.

Ride-Hailing Companies

Men Users

They sue Uber instead of their shitty coworkers who are to blame for this "special service" to exist.

As a woman Uber driver who has had a few scary encounters with male passengers, I appreciate having the woman-only option on my end too

goopy_eyed_cat

Men being upset women just want to feel safe lol

Armpithair1000

And whose fault is it that women are not safe? Men. Sue your brothers for being out of control criminals.

False-Association744

*the policy “reinforces the gender stereotype that men are more dangerous than women.”*

That’s not a stereotype, that’s a basic fact.

Women can’t walk around without their car keys in their hand. Can’t go for a run at night safely. Can’t exist in public without harassment. It’s not other women they’re unsafe around- it’s men.

Not all men, but ALWAYS, it’s a man. If other men don’t like this, then THEY need to stop it. Woman have tried, forever, to stop shite men from being shite men, and it has yet to work.

anonerdactyl_rex

Stereotype or fact that men pose more danger to women?

FlartyMcFlarstein

Maybe be mad at the creeps who film their female passengers or do worse and make this kind of shit necessary? But noooo of course not. These dudes are such fucking slaves to their emotions. Of course their hurt feelings are what they focus on here.

starsinthesky8435

Do we want women-only spaces or not, fellas? 

They’re insistent to keep “men” out of women’s bathrooms but they draw the line at transportation? Hm.

TytoAlba18

CurrentDirect7162

The men crying and throwing a fit about this shit are the men you need to be aware of. They’re the reason that feature exists in the first place.

Happy-Lesbian

So, we all know Iran is just a very bad place for a woman to live in(I know I'm an Iranian woman) but when the Snapp( something like Uber) started in Iran, it has the option to choose a woman driver for woman passanger. And nobody even cared. I mean sure, it was about the Islamic Republic's obsession with keeping men and women separated, but it also was about women's safety, especially at nights.

anooshka

This is just sad. It's a service that could do a lot of good in the world. And then a group of men had to go and ruin it

clopensets

It sounds hypocritical but we do need an exception for discrimination in favor of women in hiring laws, because of circumstances like this.

NSRedditShitposter

dream_a_dirty_dream

That sucks: let's all ask our friends who rape to stop raping or put a sign on the Lyft and Uber if they rape, so there isn't this type of discrimination. Or have the driver blow a rape whistle before people board if they rape or injure riders.

Seriously, if both sexes that were not being sexist about women drivers had to make a choice based on violence safety stats, they might choose a woman.

I am guessing Lyft doesn't conduct thorough background checks to determine if someone has a history of harming others or property, and yes, the men that don't hurt people should sue, but for hiring people that sexually assault people, and not using "stereotype" as an excuse.

Edit: IMO $4000 dollars per male driver is a cheap price to pay to protect people.

pinkbowsandsarcasm

&gt;We can't prevent our kind from being oppressors, and in fact we actively encourage them to be, but we still expect the oppressed class to be vulnerable around us for the sake of Capitalism. How will I feed my family if women won't buy my service because of the risk that I might abduct them.

What a point! Good argument dummy. So what you're saying is that Uber/Lyft should allow oppressors to abduct women, and lose business until the industry shuts down.

MariaTPK

It might technically be illegal to reserve a public service for one gender that does not innately need to be depending on the way varying laws might be written in different places. Some countries have a part of them that permit differentiation when it is ameliorative in nature, others do not. It might be challenging to show exactly what damages were caused even if they win. 

Also, generally, a civil case is decided on the balance of probabilities. It is, technically, a form of treating people differently on the basis of gender and not other causes and some judges or juries might be rather skeptical of it being done, especially if the plaintiff's attorneys try to claim that Uber could have done something else like checking the criminal backgrounds of customers and this argument convinces the court. 

Not me saying it is a good thing to sue over this, this comment is just so that you have some ideas about what an attorney might be thinking of if they heard of this case.

Awesomeuser90

I'm curious, does anyone know if you can select only male drivers too?

meaniekareenie82

Saw another comment recommending that the app fix this by adding a "male for a male" button.

Dont know much about how the ride-share industry works, but as a layman that sounds like a decent path to continue keeping women safe.

EDIT: In other words: the goal is NOT to give men a button that they'll DEFINITELY never use, but it's to torpedo any discrimination-based grievances they attempt to bring up in court.

ChickenSalad96

I highly recommend listening to NYT daily podcast episode title Every Eight Minutes. 

[NYT The Daily: Every Eight Minutes](https://youtu.be/kitXnmKM0WM?si=HsEFFmWG__Zm_H5z)

This goes into detail how Uber has known for years that this is an issue. The title is that there is a complaint of sexual harassment or misconduct on Uber's platform every 8 minutes. 

I need to read the Time article, but from what I remember from this or another article, is that discrimination works for employer hiring, but a client can have a preference for a service provider and the discrimination aspect is not a factor, like selecting the gender of your massage therapist

Stultas

Not to be a total nerd but this is actually going to be a really fascinating case from a legal perspective and i hope some of the youtube lawyers will be doing detailed commentary on it.


Things i picked up on immediately...


Their case states that the policy “reinforces the gender stereotype that men are more dangerous than women.” It would be interesting if the defense aims to prove it is not a stereotype. If they succeed we might have case law/precident saying men are more dangerous!


They want $4k damages per driver. That implies they think there is so much demand for women over male drivers that that is the magnitude of loss. So how do they argue that there is that much demand from women but also that uber are discrimating vs providing a demanded product. Does it follow that the customer is sexist in their claim? So is the issue is uber catering for a demand discrimination vs discrimination itself. 
How would this differ on an online platform vs IRL. 


Technically drivers are self employed so it is closer to us deciding to buy from a female owned business on amazon/etsy. So is the issue restricted to customers having the toggle vs them choosing based on name/ picture. Do uber have evidence that customers did this or cancelled rides with male riders before the feature?


Can uber argue that the damages are lower because without the feature the women would not take a ride at all and therefore no drivers would get it?


Certain religions/cultures require women to be with women or have a chaperone. Does removing the feature constitute discrimination against these groups as it now removes their mobility and freedoms.


What does this mean for broader female/ male only products. For example, strip clubs employ female dancers and waitresses to cater to customer demand. In most places this is a carve out in discrimination laws. 


I'm not a lawyer or up on californian laws in this area so these are just my speculative ramblings.

TheRemanence

The ones who are mad about this are the ones who are the reason why we need this.

tinypill

My sister sometimes gets a taxi from the station in the evening and there’s a taxi driver that gives her the ick so she gets him to drop her at dad’s house so he can see the house isn’t empty and then walks to her house which is a couple of minutes away

Violet351

Every 8 minutes someone is assaulted in an Uber. They have a massive safety issue because they do NOT vet their drivers in a responsible fashion. Instead of actually changing their practices, they are working in many states to reduce their insurance coverage, limit their liability and make it harder for everyone to hire lawyers. They are a horrible company and will continue to pretend to do things to make it better instead of actually making it better. Lyft is actually a much safer option.

maggiemoo86

Uber driver here, and I frequently get women who go, “I’m so glad Uber added this feature! I just feel safer and more comfortable with a woman driver.”

Women like it. I like it. Men need to learn to be less scary and unpredictable, then maybe we wouldn’t have to make choices like this. 🫥

AlfhildsShieldmaiden

I heard that in order for women only gyms to exist they call themselves clubs.  Well Uber just needs to make a female rideshare club.

sumblokefromreddit

If only drivers wouldn’t sexually assault women passengers this would never have become a thing

ShakeWeightMyDick

A lot of women choose women doctors. There are many professions where women choose women, there's a lot of precedent for this. 

RobActionTributeBand

I work in tech and to have feature like this in tech means they have pretty conclusive evidence they can defend in court. I imagine after a decade of ride shares proving men are overwhelming responsible for harassment and SA claims is not difficult. 

It will be interesting to see how they defend this. Will they try to pose it as a safety feature much like a seatbelt or airbag? Can they prove claims have gone down with the new feature? 

It’ll be interesting to see.

W0M1N

Why are men the worst sometimes? It will never not anger me that instead of protecting women, men far and wide hurt us. From active violence to passively not giving af about the fact that our rights are being stripped away. Their egos are worth more than our lives

thenumbwalker

How about if they change the option to "woman safe ride" and allow men to drive once they've gone through exhaustive sexual harassment training and FBI-level background checks? Oh right, shouldn't they already be doing that before allowing them to drive in the first place?

mykittyforprez

can we start telling men about the crime stats? i don’t know them off the top of my head, but it’s something like 97% of violence perpetrated against women is by men?? stfu and stop stalking/beating/raping/killing/etc women and then we wouldn’t NEED this feature.

phantomjellyfish42

A woman was raped violently by her taxi driver recently. She fell asleep during the ride, and he decided to rape her.


https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/law-crime/20251109/youtubers-sexual-assault-confession-sparks-renewed-metoo-movement-in-korea

Lassinportland

So essentially... They are suing Uber/Lyft for giving women a CHOICE.

Pandora333

Hw many of these comments are by dudes yelling "not all men!" in response to the metoo movement or someone sharing their story of harassment or assault? I'd venture a good bit of overlap there.

David-S-Pumpkins

The only reason they don’t want that is because they don’t even want to ride with their own gender. They are so embarrassing

Motchiko

StrangerThingies

I'm going to be really upset if this gets them to remove the feature. I don't have a license or car and have to use Lyft/Uber often. I'm a trans woman and don't feel safe around men especially since I don't date them. I also don't pass and I was really glad for this feature so I can both be safer and be respected. Most men are shitty people in general who will make it a point to misgender me even though I've been medically transitioning for years, have a feminine legal name and pronouns on the ride app profile. I've even feared for my safety with men drivers before. Most women will at least be polite and not actively transphobic for a brief ride. I've never feared for my safety with women drivers.

LocalChamp

The number of female drivers where I live means this will be literally impossible for customers to always choose this, but I do think it will help make the female DRIVERS safer, since they'll have plenty of female customers. 

Capitalism is based on supply and demand, and a market has to exist for something to be possible. If there's a demand for this then too bad for those male drivers.

JayPlenty24

It's a legal grey area. There has been some legal precedent for companies and services which exclude by gender or sex IF there is a compelling reason (such as federal funding for women-only domestic violence shelters). However, determining whether the reason is compelling is obviously very subjective, hence the grey area. Sometimes women-only gyms have successfully argued that it constitutes a 'legitimiate business interest' that women clients have been harassed in mixed-gender settings, but sometimes that argument has been found insufficient. It differs judge by judge and state by state.

However, exclusive private clubs and religious organizations have had better luck with being allowed to operate female-only spaces. 

I'm not a lawyer, and I personally don't understand why individual moral / religious freedom wouldn't apply to female drivers who individually refuse to pick up male passengers (and vice versa). Since the courts have found that bakeries can refuse on religious grounds to make cakes for gay people, pharmacists can refuse to fill prescriptions for the morning after pill, and county clerks can refuse to issue non-heterosexual marriage licenses, then I don't understand why a female Lyft driver wouldn't be protected if he or she refused on religious grounds to pick up customers of the opposite sex.

The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not explicitly name gender, but it does name sex as one of the categories protected from discrimination by, among other things, public accommodations and employers. It's one of the most important pieces of legislation in modern US law.

It's worth mentioning that the Project 2025 explicitly outlined plans to dismantle the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Were that to happen, society as the US knows it would in many ways collapse, however Lyft and Uber could probably start their female-only rideshares back up.

La_danse_banana_slug

Yeah I just love riding with some dude through a secluded forest and him going on and on about how lovely my perfume is... Even if it's genuine that's not the time dude...

It's happened like 3 or 4 times, and on top of those one was trying to ask me out for coffee, and one I've rode with twice now keeps being all "I'm new in this city and it's hard to meet new friends and your English is good would you like to stay in contact?" like uhh, no dude... No... At this point I'm cancelling the trip if it's him and I need to wait a bit so he doesn't pick up the trip again...

Guys are so oblivious on how one sided the dynamics are here it's just mind blowing... I shouldn't be surprised ig...

AandWKyle

I also want to be able to choose a woman as my personal shopper. The men that have done it just show a lack of caring. Men in these industries need to do better. I know it isn't all men and idgaf. Other men need to hold these cry babies accountable if you don't want to go down with the ship.

Ktaily

I feel like Uber and Lyft should just add in a generic "Driver preference" feature and "Rider preference" feature to let people specify who they're comfortable being in a car with. If a woman feels safer in a car with another woman, then she should be allowed to request a woman driver. Just make it a generic option so the men stop crying about it

I_Was_Fox

In housing, no anti-discrimination laws apply if what you are doing is renting out a room in your own home, or if you are renting out an apartment in a very small building that you yourself live in

The idea is freedom of association, that means in close quarters, you are allowed to discriminate because the effect on your comfort can be strong stronger

In court, I would argue that the enclosed nature of an automobile—compounded with the level of control that the driver has, plus the ability of drivers to know where you live —means that the customer’s comfort becomes more important than any anti-discrimination loss. 

I also think you could likely argue that it’s a little hard to prove that male drivers are losing jobs because of this feature.

TootsNYC

They have to SHOW somehow they (men) have neen harmed by them offering female nly drivers to only women. I think that's going to be pretty hard to prove...

femsci-nerd

I signed up for the women only and got three men in a row lmao.

Low-Peak-9031

Didn’t this happen a decade ago with a new women-only ridesharing service in Boston or someplace? A man sued and they had to shut down.

samosamancer

I used it last night and let me tell you…..I never felt safer.

Whateverusay44

carolinarower

Maybe it’s time for a women only ride share company? Of course men would probably challenge that too.

PattysMom1

Maybe instead of suing uber they should, I don’t know, focus on encouraging other drivers to not assault women!?

begin_again1

I know females friends that have been harassed by their drivers to the point that they feel forced to have dinner with them or add them on socials just to feel safe; being asked if the place they’re being dropped off at is where they live and having to lie and having to pretend someone is picking them up/opening the door so the driver doesn’t know it’s their house. Worst part is that Lyft or uber didn’t do anything once the complaint was placed

ceezsaur

It would be great if those of us who have experienced male harassment by using Uber could give our testimony. 
I actually will not use ride share apps anymore unless I am carrying a self defense weapon and it is an absolute emergency - **specifically because** of how male drivers behave. 


I would rather walk 5 miles in rain, snow, hail, or a fucking typhoon than deal with another man making inappropriate comments at me or driving like a wild animal or whatever else. 

I also had someone attempt to pick me up in a vehicle that did not match the one registered on the app, but was extremely similar. The plates definitely didn't match, but the vehicle being almost indistinguishable at a glance scared me to death. The man driving became irate when I told him I was cancelling the ride. So if I had gone missing - authorities would be looking for make and model X while it was make and model Y that took me.

Let's talk about how there are tons of documented assaults by male drivers on female passengers. Ride share apps are not safe for women. Maybe we should get together and sue over that.

wildberry-poptart

These cases are always backed by an ideological organization or lawyer looking for an angle— iirc this one is backed by The Heritage Foundation hyper-conservative think tank. And the drivers in the suit are sought out to to make the lawsuit claim 

There’s a chance not most drivers feel this way

luckyflavor23

Fucking disgusting.  These freaks don't even give a shit about equality or safety, they are just upset women can avoid them.  I guarantee not a single one of these douchebags would use a man-only feature.

SomeGuyNamedJason

Abusive men are really telling on themselves.

DeIightfully0rdinary

All I'm going to say is that when I was 18-19, I had a driver pick me up from college and he made me extremely uncomfortable to the point that I started recording just in case he tried anything. He asked me if my dad would be ok if we went on a date. While he's being oblivious to the fact that I wouldn't want to go on a date with a man in his 20s. He asked me if I was a virgin and everytime he stopped at a stop sign or red light, he would look at me through the rearview mirror and lick his lips at me. The ride was only supposed to be about 10 minutes but it took longer because the gps kept taking him down a wrong turn. 

He's the reason why my mom gave me a taser and pepper spray and that I now keep my location on and share the driver details with my mom.

Kit-tiga

Statistically speaking, drivers are far more likely to be assaulted than passengers by multiple orders of magnitude, so it'd improve safety more to allow women drivers to only pick up women passengers.

ursois

I hope every one of the men bitching about this gets personally slapped by the judge...

steelcryo

Of course they would sue.     

Shameless money grab. They don’t care about our safety.

seige197

I knew this would happen. They won't let us have anything.

Uber and Lyft should have also made a "men for men" option, like other commenters suggested. I've seen men cry "why is there no men only option" when literally none of us care if it is there, just give us a women-only option.

 Even though we damn well know the "men for men" option would never be used, it should have been there for liability's sake. I'm surprised their lawyers didn't suggest it. Unless they knew this would happen and then planned to use this suit to show that hey, they tried, as more SA cases inevitably come up on the news.

Lunoko

Of course these assholes. Can't have a single thing for ourselves. Men aren't lonely enough.

humanoid6938

So they wanna protect women from "men in sports" and "men in bathrooms" by hating on Trans folk, but won't protect women from men who mean us harm in a ride share. They dont want us to have gender neutral bathrooms so in my opinion that's enough reason to not get in a car alone with a man. (Not transphobic, I actually want gender neutral bathroom.)

batmom90

how bout we girls get a button confirming we JUST WANT TO GO FROM A TO B. 

That we ARE NOT INTERESTED/WANTING:

to FK

to date
to marry you

to discuss our career, how much money we make, how much we paid/how we got our home, if we are dating/taken/married, if we go out, THEIR dating/ex/wife/family; etc

IS NOT A DATING EVENT.

WHY WE HAVE TO SAY THIS?😡😳🙄

ScandyGirl

I don’t think it’s going to work because passengers have a choice in who they want to ride with. It’s like if you go to get a massage, you can specify if you’d rather have one sex or the other giving you the massage. I don’t see this as any different.

CreatrixAnima

First, I apologize for commenting in the women’s sub. I’m a white man and this is the same kind of attitude that my peers don’t understand about white privilege. Most men cannot or refuse to comprehend that walking into a dark parking lot at night is a very different experience and carries a lot more risk for a woman than a man, just like they refuse to understand that life itself is different for people who aren’t white. It’s a choice by these men to be this ignorant.

snakebill

In the UK, this would be a ‘general occupational requirement’ as exempt for the Equality Act so they can get stuffed. It’s only an occupational requirement and rideshare feature because women don’t feel safe around *men* and for good fucking reason.

princessalyss_

What do these snowflake males think—that a lone female passenger is somehow as likely to be sexually assaulted by a lesbian rapist as a male stranger driving for Lyft or Uber? Uh, no.

davidfloro

Maybe they need to set a Bear-Only Ride-Hailing Feature.
The AUDACITY of these asshat men.

chagall1968

I think those men are whiney crybabies.   Even with the feature on I almost never get a woman or queer driver anyway.

BurningSpaceMan

the drivers couldn't care less about discrimination - they're butthurt that women think men are dangerous and want the courts to force us to shut up about it

Men suing The Establishment for Equal Rights? HMMM… 🤔

InsertClichehereok

I have this feature turned on for Lyft, out of the 10+ rides I took while on a vacation in the USA, I only had a “woman safe” driver 4 times. It’s not a guaranteed option, they even claim “you’ll have a woman/nonbinary driver more often” on the app. The men are complaining for nothing

DuckieSLUT

I'd prefer a woman over a male driver. Since I take Uber often, when I get a woman driver, most of the time they are much safer drivers as well. There are male drivers that I have grown to like because they're not nosy af.

There was one time I was in an Uber with a male driver and he turned onto a side road when my trip was straight on the same road for four miles. Mind you, there was no reason for this, no road blocks, nothing. We went around a neighborhood for two minutes just to get back on the road we were supposed to be on. I was fearful and ready to make noise and get out of the car if possible.

YffresBloodmoon

Call them again and see how high up the chain you can escalate this. I haven't worked for rideshares but I've worked a lot of call center programs and you may have gotten a shit tier one agent. Record the calls on your end if you can. This is super shitty and you should have been treated better.

Nauin

Yeah something is going on, I got one yesterday, the ride was reassigned twice while the driver was in transit, because “we found someone available sooner” and they were just sitting parked a minute away not moving. They texted that this is the lyft chatbot and to reply with my mobile number and follow the instructions and I definitely didn’t do that shit

funkadunk8

A couple years ago I was in a Lyft with my partner and the driver went into a rage when he realized we were gay. He started threatening to leave us on the highway or he would speed up to 90’mph on a 50mph road. The ONLY reason Lyft believed my complaint was because I took pictures of the speedometer. When I continued to move the complaint up the chain, they wouldn’t even tell me if the driver would face repercussions. Then they asked if I could contact them first if I was going to tell the media?! It was insane, don’t expect them to take any action in your favor.

ChuChuBitch-

Contact your local news station to see if they want to do a story. Public shaming world wonders for customer service. Save the screenshots!

lark-sp

What the actual fuck indeed. I've never heard of them requesting information like this as a customer or as a past driver. I hope you were able to find a way home safely even though you were put in this predicament

CF-Gamer4life

I had a Lyft driver get out and follow me to my front door once, fully expecting me to let him follow me right inside. He’d been making gross comments the entire ride — he picked me up from the hospital after I was discharged and wanted to know if I needed help getting to bed, changed and so on. If my partner hadn’t been waiting for me right inside I’m not sure what I’d have done. Fuck Lyft. They didn’t care at all when I reported it. I’m so sorry this happened to you and hope you are safe.

FoxyFreckles1989

Lyft is horrible. I once left my keys behind in a drivers car, luckily had a spare. There was a Tile attached. Lyft wouldn’t put me in touch with the driver because they said the driver searched the car and said they weren’t in there, but I could literally see everywhere the driver was going (and could prove it). They said nothing they could do, the driver is an independent contractor. And this driver now has keys to my house, as well as my address. As soon as I said I was calling the police, wow! Turns out the driver had my keys. Fuck Lyft.

perhabsolutely

I have a free textnow number for situations where I don’t want to give out my real number. 

In this type of situation that wouldn’t have helped you, but it has come in handy multiple times.

Old-Fox-3027

I had an Uber driver who waited in front of my house every day to make sure he was matched with me. I stopped using Uber because he made me uncomfortable by commenting on my physical appearance, adding me on Facebook, asking for my number. I swapped to lyft and guess who was there to pick me up? He had both accounts and was just waiting….. I really needed to get to work and hadn’t been paying too much attention to who the driver was (he had a different picture). I got in and immediately felt so uncomfortable. He told me I hadn’t accepted his friend request or provided my number yet. He said he could “get it if he wanted it” and “I hadn’t worn that shirt and pant combo in over a week.” 

I swapped to Lyft because Uber said there wasn’t anything they could do and he hadn’t violated any rules. Lyft told me the same thing but suggested I could just try to leave later.

x_littlebird

I recall hearing about go Jane go, a female ride sharing service 👏🏼 it was based in Texas and might not have lasted but I sure do wish they had it here

[deleted]

This is the reason Im terrified to ride uber alone now. I rode one last year on the way to meet my friends downtown. The middle aged driver incessantly asked where I was planning to end the night and how drunk I was getting. He asked me \*five times\* to use his cars wifi. Probably to harvest my metadata or other personal data. NEVER ANSWER PERSONAL QUESTIONS ASKED BY YOUR DRIVERS. USE CAUTION AND GIVE MINIMAL INFORMATION. In fact, maybe its time to change your ride share account profile to a fake name if you must use it frequently.

I had guys sexually harass me and blatantly ask me if they could pay for sex.  One was an ex con and it was in the middle of nowhere and I had no cell service.  I gave him my burner number to appease him.   It was terrifying and I truly thought he was gonna rape me.   

Never again

ucannottell

You should make a police report and send that to Lyft

hot4you11

As a woman, I'm disturbed that they make no mention of deactivating that driver. Not even some bland reassurance of "retraining." Nope nope nope.

riversroadsbridges

Last actual taxi I took was in 2001. Picked up by a registered service. Dude dropped me in the middle of nowhere after I refused to fuck him. 

I have never taken an Uber or a Lyft or any of it. Because it’s basically just hack service. And if liscensed taxi drivers can get away with robbery, rape and extortion? Uber and Lyft was just an “in” every potential psycho on earth. 

No lie I’m AMAZED at how society suddenly and over night, just became cool with getting into cars with complete strangers moonlighting.

YggdrasilsLeaf

You can still take it out with your credit card company. There's a chance that you might not be able to use their services anymore though

TheLadyIsabelle

Others are saying to do it internally and try to escalate but that's now how most companies work any more. You need to post it on social media and hope that it goes big. Often this is the only way anything will change.

thecooliestone

Lyft is notoriously bad at handling these matters appropriately. I had an ex who would abuse the "Share my Location" feature when we went no-contact after the break-up. He would share his location every time he went out or on a date and I would get a text from an unknown number to follow his ride. Every time I escalated it to Lyft, they wouldn't take the appropriate action (blocking his account) even though harassment was against their terms and conditions.

chicltchic

For everyone who didn't get to see it in time, reddit deleted lyfts comment on her other post, they said

&gt;Hi (real name), we appreciate you making us aware of this incident. Please be assured that your concerns have been heard, and we definitely want to take a further look into this. We were unsuccessful in reaching you by phone but left a voicemail. Please provide a good time to call you via the email we sent you so that we can resolve this matter for you.
