Oh please. As a user of both, I've never had any problem. Drivers have ratings as do users. Bad users get booted and bad drivers get what they deserve. The cars are cleaner, drivers are better, less smelly, less creepy and they know, unlike taxi drivers, that is a business and a business that gets rewarded when they do good work.

I tend to use Lyft more because they treat their drivers better. But the scare tactics...are just that.

I'd love to understand the background check for taxi drivers as many of them are sketchy as heck!

I have used both also and have also not had any problems. However having driven for both I can say that security is definitely better for taxi - for both driver and passenger

As for the diff between security checks, taxis have to do the full Palm FBI live scan just like school teachers etc. uber/Lyft just does the easily obtained and inferior internet check.

More to the point Abdul can sign on (not so much as a personal interview) with Uber etc and then have his cousins Jefe Haram and Mohammed drive. No one will know the difference

It’s a big security issue not to mention. A perfect and frequently used ! Way for illegal aliens to work. Don’t kid yourself on that one. Which is also why many are netting out $7 to $10 per hour; they can’t get other work.
