Uber: Women’s Companion for Safe Commute

Nabiha is a working woman. She often needs to go outside for urgent businesses. Today, the driver of her personal vehicle is absent, but she needs to leave for an urgent meeting. She doesn't want to ride a CNG autorickshaw, as she doesn't feel safe enough. She is looking for a safe and reliable medium for commuting.

In such situation, Nabiha can opt for ride-sharing services like Uber. These services are reliable for fast and safe commute. Uber trips can be tracked easily, as they are under constant GPS surveillance. Riders can also share live location with their loved ones. Riders can see the driver's name, photo, rating, etc. before getting into the vehicle. This is really helpful in case the rider needs to report any unpleasant incident.

The Uber app also has a 'Safety Toolkit' for the riders' safety. This allows riders to call the emergency number 999 by pressing just one simple button. The 24x7 safety line provides riders with the option to get in touch with Uber's safety team should they have an urgent, non-emergency issue, during a trip or up to 30 minutes after the trip ends. The feature Ridecheck 3.0 flags certain trip irregularities.

Riders' safety is Uber's biggest concern. Therefore, Uber can be a reliable companion for women's safe and secure commute.
