And how precisely does having an app any rando can download provide any safe guards? I can assure you their background checks are pure PR. These drivers are not employees, according to the company. What do you think happens when a driver assaults or robs someone? What makes you think that criminals wouldn’t just steal a phone from a driver and use that to get victims? The app provides no security other than theater.
Previously they did have quite a few restrictions like drivers had to have a car less than 3 years old and stuff like that but that seems to have gone out the window years ago as I’ve had several rides in 20 year old hoopties. I’m assuming all their driver screening went out around the same time.
