Uber Rolls Out ‘Uber Comfort’ Feature Allowing Passengers To Request Extra Amenities Before Riding

Roommates, y’all are talking and #Uber is surely listening! Not only has Uber created an option for quiet cars, but the company has now made an entire amenity feature to make your ride as smooth as possible.

 

According to the Verge, Uber Comfort is now available in select markets in North America. The service allows passengers to request extra legroom, quiet cars, and other amenities that are typically only offered for Uber Black car riders.

 

Uber Comfort is available an an additional option to Uber X, Uber Pool, Uber Black, and Uber XL. For just a few dollars more, riders can now determine exactly how they want to ride.

 

The service features requests for newer cars, more legroom, and the ability to set the temperature in a vehicle before pickup. Uber Comfort customers will also have the ability to use the ‘quiet mode feature’. In Uber’s initial quiet mode announcement, it is clear the feature is only available for Uber Black riders.

 

Uber is setting a standard for drivers as well! Drivers who want to accept Uber Comfort ride requests will reportedly be subject to meet many requirements. Drivers will have to maintain a 4.85-star average rating and a car that is a maximum of five years old.

 

Uber is catching a lot of heat lately between going public and experiencing an increase in passenger deaths due to negligent drivers. In the past month, more than four passenger deaths have been reported. Unfortunately, all of the deaths are women, whose drivers took them to different destinations.

 

Despite the hardships, Uber is trying to get the attention of its riders. The company wants to show the service is safe, efficient, and comfortable.
