The company's new 'quiet mode' has some people speechless.
Uber launched a new"quiet mode" for riders. By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow May 17 at 1:31 PM People have all sorts of feelings about Uber’s new “quiet mode.”
For its part, Uber said it wouldn’t use the data to pair individual riders with drivers. And the ride-hailing giant said it wouldn’t add an additional cost for the perks, which are available for Uber Black and Uber Black SUV rides. — Becca May 17, 2019 Granted, the reaction wasn’t all negative. And some said the quiet option is actually appreciated. For example, some said that being able to tell your driver that you’d rather limit the conversation accommodates riders with anxiety who may prefer not to chat. Others said that the tool is especially useful for deaf riders and those who often get into their rides and have to “lipread the back of someone’s head.
— ines. May 17, 2019 I don't use Uber but their new quiet mode sounds like a godsend for those with anxiety who don't want to have to deal with people who can't pick up on the fact they don't want to be disturbed during their journey. — genevieve جوجو May 17, 2019 Uber is offering 'Quiet Mode' for premium rides like Uber Black, where you can request that the driver not speak to you, thereby allowing women passengers to decide if they'd rather be creeped out by conversation or silence.
