The survey, which also tracked the highest-rated cities, comes on the heels of Uber unveiling a new privacy center feature that allows users to view a comprehensive breakdown of their ratings per ride on the app to get a better understanding of their score.
"We hope that by giving users a peek into how their rating is calculated, we can help encourage positive experiences between riders and drivers on every trip," Zach Singleton, head of privacy and equity products at Uber, said in a statement.
