Two held for brutal attacks on Uber passengers
- buyx 10y agoThe quality of South African reporting is not particularly great, but it seems like Uber allowed two major lapses to occur, allowing a criminal rapist to drive for them, and then allowing the same person using a "stolen" Uber vehicle to pick up passengers. No comment from Uber in the article, but this is pretty shocking. It's also interesting that the first attack was initially reported as a "false Uber taxi", but it turns out it was the real thing: http://citizen.co.za/1206095/uber-condems-kidnapping-rape-in-false-uber-vehicle/ http://citizen.co.za/1206095/uber-condems-kidnapping-rape-in...
