Lyft will begin rolling out the feature, which also allows women and nonbinary drivers to select the same preference, in Chicago Wednesday. The city is one of the first five markets where drivers and riders will have the option.The goal is to provide more control over the driving experience, and encourage women and nonbinary people to drive, Lyft executives said.
But few of the drivers are women. In Chicago, 20% of drivers are female, according to a 2023 economic impact report from Lyft, a figure in line with the company’s national trends. She feels fortunate she has only experienced a handful of uncomfortable situations in her seven years driving, and had to call police just once, she said. Still, the feature would make her more comfortable at night, and she suspected it would also make female passengers more comfortable, especially those making late-night runs from work or the airport.
