Lyft and Uber both perform background checks on drivers. Lyft also has a mentorship program where new drivers are screened for safe driving, car quality/condition, and other criteria by an experienced driver.

Uber also fought against thorough background check legislation in texas if I remember correctly. There are tons of other regulatory issues like insurance.
- biggc 10y agoRidiculous! I pay a $1 "safe rides" fee every time I ride. Uber wouldn't lie to me about its purpose!
- mahyarm 10y agoIt's called a booking fee now. I think they called it safe rides because it included the cost of insurance & background checks. http://uberestimator.com/booking-fee http://uberestimator.com/booking-fee
- rayvd 10y agoWhat's insufficient about the background checks Uber already performs? If they're quantifiably less safe than other transportation mechanisms, customers will vote with their wallets. I'd be opposed to adding additional regulation if not needed.
