Uber will soon launch a new option in their app that caters to women. The company announced the feature, called Women Preferences, will launch in a pilot stage in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit in the next few weeks.

It will be the first time the popular ride share app is bringing the option to the app in the United States after launching it in 40 other countries. With the new option Uber joins Lyft and other taxi apps, like HERide and Just Her Rideshare to connect female passengers with women drivers.

Women riders in cities where the feature is available will see a new option called Women Drivers. They’ll also be able to pre-book rides with women drivers and set a preference in the app to be matched with a female driver.

Also, women drivers will be able to request female passengers with a new “Women Rider Preference” option in the settings menu.
