Masks are required in rideshare and public transport so far as I know. Not sure how you categorise Uber.
I've never used Uber. Caught an Ola a couple times. First time, the driver was African, drove like a gazelle was after him and nearly wrecked us twice.

It's still a paid service public or not. They have the right to refuse if you don't comply. And as in enclosed spaces masks are required. Are you willing to get in a strangers car if they have covid? 10k + cases a day. Won't be surprised if ppl catch it off public transports.

Regardless whether Uber is public transport or not, they have had long-standing rule of needing to wear a mask while using their services.

Uber is classified as a ride share provider, so under the mask requirements in WA at the moment a mask is required to be worn.

Best not go to any place where public gathers then, perhaps get back into the cave
as WA was famously described!My partner got it at a restaurant where people were unmasked eating but I missed it then even tho an ‘intimate’ contact. Then after she recovered, I got it at a music show at a pub, people unmasked while drinking and much dancing & good times. it definitely getting difficult to dodge living a ‘normal’ life, even if cautious.
I’m now finding it rare to find people would haven’t got close contacts who haven’t had it whether vaccinated or not. Total reversal of the experience back in Feb!!!!

Uber's Public Transport feature will give the rider a way to look at all the options within the Uber app

Yeah, Uber's not public transport, but they've got mask rules to keep everyone safe, kind of like taxis do. It's all about making sure both drivers and riders are protected.
