  There’s already an app that does that.

  It’s called grindr.

    What if I’ve only been using Uber Black?

      You never go back, or so I hear.

      That’s great, if you want a black driver.

      Grindr does have ethnicity options, not sure if it’s behind a paywall though.

  I’m a man, but I also prefer women drivers. Their cars tend to be better taken care of and cleaner. they also do a lot better at respecting and pre-empting preferences in regard to heat/music. Maybe it’s just my area, but I’ve actually never had a “normal” experience with a male Uber driver.

  Either their car is all clapped out, it’s dirty and smells bad, they’ll be blasting MAGA rap, or they get real weird with the dropoff. (Like, bro my legs do function and I can walk across the street or down the block a little bit, it’s ok, I gave you a different address from where I’m actually going anyway). Never had any issues like that with women as drivers.

    Dunno what specifically they do that’s weird around the dropoff but as a former Uber driver, I was just trying to make things as convenient as possible/get a good rating and/or tip from a clean and easy drop-off

      I get that, but some of them take it too far. Like fighting traffic to get as close to the door as physically possible, such that it actually takes longer than if I had just been dropped at the corner and walked the half block or whatever.

      It would take a lot of bullshit for me to not give 5 stars, but I know not every rider will be like that!

      In your defense, Former Uber Driver, I’ve never noticed any difference in the cleanliness or behavior of drivers. They seem to always have cars much newer and cleaner than mine and they are always friendly and professional. Maybe it is different in that other guy’s city.

  Honestly, this should be a thing.

  They should make an app where you have to swipe right on your driver/passenger, and then the app notifies you and you can strike up a conversation and see whether or not you are compatible for ride-sharing.

    Some sort of beautiful justice can be imagined where women just sit on corners pouting how they can’t get a decent driver.

    Can I meet my driver for coffee first, see if it’s worth pursuing a ride?
