Lyft spokeswoman Alexandra LaManna said in a statement that no one should have to endure what the women in the lawsuit describe and that women still face disproportionate safety risks. ”That means continually investing in new features and policies to protect our riders and drivers.”[How does Lyft ban drivers?] Lyft has announced a number of safety changes amid the scrutiny as passengers came forward with their allegations. The women alleged in the suit they turned to increasingly frantic measures to buy time or make their harassers stop. “Lyft riders who report sexual harassment or sexual assault to Lyft’s Trust & Safety Team are often left feeling no better off than had they not reported at all,” the lawsuit says.
