      You see Uber and Lyft aren’t technically legal taxi services in many places because they don’t employ any drivers or own any vehicles. They have “Contracted Individuals.”

        They also use private cars for hire service which in may places means that the insurance is invalid (i.e. they are facilitating uninsured drivers)
