The article informs on public policy in support of women-only ridesharing, and concludes that the policy in support of women's safety outweighs strict adherence to anti-discrimination laws in the U.S. It mentions about sexual assault by Uber and Lyft drivers; Uber and Lyft's failed promise to provide a safe ridesharing experience; and role of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in prohibiting employment discrimination based on sex.
