    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The ride-hailing company announced the new feature on Wednesday at Go-Get, its annual product showcase.

    You can book a ride on-demand or schedule one ahead of time.

    An agent answers the call and takes the rider’s name and credit card information.

    “Sometimes it’s just about doing the simple thing that actually reaches a whole new audience,” Niraj Patel, senior director of operations, told Insider.

    “We wanted to really make sure we didn’t compromise on any of our core safety features,” he added.

    “Even though you’re not using the app and tools, finding a way to replicate those things was part of the development.”
