The CDC’s mandate requiring all travelers to wear masks was overturned by a federal judge yesterday, and transit companies have wasted no time at all in telling their customers to free their faces. Both Uber and Lyft have entirely lifted their mask requirements as of today — neither drivers nor riders will be required to wear them.
Uber’s updated Safety page is clear that, while the company no longer requires masks, there’s still good reason to wear one. “However, the CDC still recommends wearing a mask if you have certain personal risk factors and/or high transmission levels in your area,” the page reads.
