Just hours after Uber announced that the company would allow riders, drivers and passengers with individual claims of sexual assault against the company to pursue their cases in open court, Lyft announced that it too would waive its arbitration agreement.

Like Uber’s new arbitration agreement, this means that riders who allege they are victims of sexual misconduct are not forced to mediate their claims against Lyft behind closed doors. This flexibility around the arbitration agreement does not extend to all riders, only those who have sexual assault claims.
