Uber and Bolt unveil women-only service in Paris

Economic Times · 5m

Two rival ride-hailing platforms, Uber and Bolt, have introduced options that allow women in Paris to request rides driven by female drivers. This initiative aims to prioritize safety for female customers and address concerns of sexual assault or harassment. Uber's "Uber by Women" option is available at no extra cost but may have longer waiting times, while Bolt's "Women by Women" option is set to launch by the end of 2024. Both companies hope these changes will attract more women drivers to the profession by offering reduced fees.
