Uber has announced its efforts to enhance rider safety, focusing on female riders and drivers. The company, on Wednesday, announced the introduction of features like audio recording and women rider preferred to bolster safety during trips.

In partnership with Bengaluru-based NGO Durga, Uber is also intensifying efforts to sensitise drivers about appropriate conduct, particularly when interacting with female riders. With the launch of ‘Safety Preferences’, riders can now customise safety features such as RideCheck, Share My Trip, and audio recording to activate automatically on every trip.
