Currently, thousands of taxi drivers have already been on-boarded on the application, and have started accepting trips.īoth riders and drivers will be able to benefit from the same safety features available across all other Uber products including features such as trip sharing which allows drivers and riders to share details with friends and family during the trip, speed alerts, a feature which reminds drivers to drive within the posted speed limits, the emergency button which connects riders or drivers to emergency assistance whenever needed, and caller anonymisation where riders and drivers are able to call each other while maintaining the privacy of their number. The rider will then be matched to the nearest taxi in the exact same way they are matched with any other service on Uber.
