Lyft driver Lamont Liner thought he was choosing up an everyday fare in Chicago late final yr. As a substitute, his passengers pulled out a pistol and stole his automotive and telephone. He hasn’t returned to drive for the app since, at the same time as ride-sharing corporations have tried to tempt drivers with more cash.
“The cash is so good proper now,” mentioned the 63-year-old. “But it surely’s simply not value it to have any person put a gun to your head.”
