The system is meant to help ensure passengers won't get a ride from the wrong driver. Uber has begun turning on a PIN system that's designed to improve the safety of riders by ensuring they're getting into the correct driver's car. The verification system is part of an effort to improve the ride-hailing service in light of safety and sexual assault concerns about Uber that emerged in Uber tested the "verify your ride" PIN system in seven US cities starting in December, but it's now becoming available for all riders in the US and Canada, starting now and reaching everyone by the end of the week, Uber said Tuesday.
Riders can enable it for all rides or for rides between 9 p. If you're using the system, the Uber app will send you a four-digit PIN code just before your driver arrives. After the driver enters the correct PIN, the trip can begin," Uber said. Uber users will now have the option of receiving a four-digit PIN code to provide to their driver-partner before starting an Uber trip.
This added layer of verification can help ensure riders get in the right car and driver-partners are picking up the correct rider. Beginning today, many Uber riders will be able to set up the PIN verification feature in their app. It will be available to all Uber users in Hong Kong by the end of next week.
Once enabled, the rider will receive a four-digit pin code in their app while the driver is en-route to the pickup location. The PIN system protects both drivers and passengers by guaranteeing that the right passenger gets into the right car.
You can choose to enable the PIN system for every ride, or only for rides at night 9pm to 6am. You can choose to set a PIN for every ride, or only for night rides.
Now that the Verify Your Ride feature is coming to more cities, Uber drivers should be prepared for ride requests that will require a PIN. Drivers have 5 attempts to enter the correct PIN. It will be a large, obvious popup on the home screen of the passenger app. At some airports, the Uber app uses a PIN system to match riders with drivers. The airport PIN system works more like a taxi line.
Instead, after requesting a ride passengers get a PIN and give it to the driver at the front of the rideshare line. Uber launched another safety feature called RideCheck that sends a notification to passengers when an unexpected stop occurs on the trip. Is everything OK? It is really disappointed me as a rider. I do not drive and user UBER taxi for most of the time.
