Uber, Lyft Drivers Need Extra Safety as Rising Crime Retains Many Off the Roads

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.
