Lyft Announces New Feature For Women And Nonbinary Users

Lyft is offering a new feature specifically for women and nonbinary users.

The ride share company is rolling out ‘Woman+ Connect’, which gives women and nonbinary riders the option to request riders and drivers of the same gender.

Lyft said that only 23% of its drivers are women and by giving drivers and riders the option to be more selective when it comes to who they’re matched with, the company is creating an environment that allows them to feel more confident in their safety.

The company said this new feature has been a long time coming as it has been a significant request.
