I don't know if that is the cause of it; it's just one data point I heard (last year). I'm actually curious what drove the increase. Since they are still in cost undercutting and competing mode I doubt it's just "because they can". I wonder if it has anything to do with economics (higher insurance rate) or what. According to this article: https://www.geekwire.com/2017/uber-drivers-sound-alarm-teen-rider-program-call-additional-protections/ https://www.geekwire.com/2017/uber-drivers-sound-alarm-teen-... "Uber says teen rides will only be booked with experienced drivers who have received consistently positive reviews." So maybe the pool of drivers is smaller for teen accounts. Also, teen accounts are not teens paying for it. But an account a parent can designate for the teen and they pay for it.
