Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Expanding the addressable market to seniors and mobility-impaired riders could lift ride volume and retention, particularly if adoption accelerates in the nine-market pilot. While near-term revenue impact is uncertain, the enhancements improve user experience and could translate into higher customer lifetime value and competitive differentiation, similar to prior feature-driven usage boosts seen in ride-hailing platforms.
