Be safe ladies. Also call the person
first. There is usually a way that the app will dial the person disguising their number and yours if you click help. The contact your driver things shows up. That way you can have them beep their horn, or wave or whatever because you are so
confused and don't see them
….well that's at least what
I do.
Still, we can't protect from everything as there are some incidents where the driver has harmed passengers , but this is the same with cab drivers, etc and the percentage is substantially low with the safest services (not that it matters to those who were victims unfortunately) so it's best to use our intuition no matter what, put safeties in check and go with the safest companies. I think lyft has had a lot fewer lawsuits than uber ...so I always choose them, Juno (my fav) or via. And I haven't had a problem with each fingers crossed. I hope I never do. I also love Gett/Juno I know they were acquired so I'm not sure what they are called anymore but they are based I think only in limited cities. You have to have a TLC license and you have to have driven for a while with high star ratings (customer satisfaction) before they'll accept you and of course to get the TLC license you have to register and have periodic checks/background etc plus you're registered by the state and so on. It's a little more involved because only a taxi or limo/private driver would have this license so it's a professional driver versus an every day person. I prefer them above all but they are not in every city and I do travel so I revert to Lyft when not able to be in NY for Gett/Juno
Wishing us all well and a happy and
safe full, long life.
