The Guru Take
There are safety measures unique to app-based transportation. No, you cannot request a female driver through Uber.
Uber and other rideshare do offer some additional mechanisms that can promote safety. For example, the app-based dispatch keeps a log of all communications and the GPS also keeps tab on the exact locations and the paths of the trips. The fact that the drivers and passengers are “known users” also helps in terms of accountability.
With uber and Lyft, you cannot request a female driver. However, there are rideshare companies that offer such capability of requesting female drivers.
Here are some examples: Rideshare Services for Women
