Enough that Uber saw fit to implement a system that would allow people who feel vulnerable to seek drivers who they feel safer around. This is Uber, the company that calls its drivers ‘contractors’ to get around employment laws and who puts all of the onus of responsibility on their drivers and passengers so they can try and keep their hands as clean as possible. That Uber thought that enough people were being assaulted by their drivers to actually do something about it.

Who cares if it’s a marketing decision, or comes from an absolute festering hole of a company? Stopped clocks and all that. This feature is obviously desirable if women are using it. And again, I think the safety of one group of people outweighs the wallets of another.
