Uber’s ‘Women Preferences’ feature expanding to more cities.
The feature that allows women to adjust their settings to indicate a preference for a woman driver in all circumstances is coming to more cities, including New York, Philly, D.C., Atlanta, and Austin. Uber started piloting the feature in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Detroit in 2025 and is now expanding it after receiving positive feedback.
But not everyone is on board; one Uber driver called it “gender-based labor exploitation, not empowerment.”
